You're right, dumb****. Confucius didn't say that or anything like it.

You must have been locked in the basement when the "Confucius say"
jokes were going around. Lighten up Francis.

The "Confucius Say" jokes weren't a "thing" in my crowd growing up,
they were offensive, and they weren't culturally relevant. We had a
substantial number of Asians in New Haven when I lived there, and those
sorts of jokes would have been as frowned upon as jokes about blacks,
Latinos, Jews, Hungarians, Polish folks, et cetera. I never lived in a
mostly WASP neighborhood or attended a mostly "white American" public
school.

The most offensive gag I remember is a sight gag that Sam Bender, the
super basketball coach at our high school, had posted on the door jamb
that led to his office. It was pasted on at the 6'6" measure and said,
"If you ain't this tall, you can't play on the team." Some short people
took offense, but Bender was only 5'5" and it was a joke.

Bender might have been the greatest high school basketball coach of his era:

Heck, my best friend growing up was 2nd generation Chinese. Lots of Asians
in my area, and even they laughed at Confucius jokes. They even laughed at
Charlie Chan movies, and he was white.

Harry still tries to take his moral outrage from the 70s and 80s back
to the 50s and make us believe it. I'm sure he thought the Lone Ranger
and the Cisco Kid was racist too.

Harry is full of ****.
