OK, I'm not trying to start a race bashing thread. Just trying to figure out if the Chinese in the company I work for have odd senses of humor or if it's a cultural thing.

Like many companies today the company I work for has factories in other countries and one of ours is in China. It's customary for Chinese who have to regularly interact with Americans to select American names for themselves. I do not think it's just China, our Nigerian custodian got so tired of us not pronouncing his name correctly he also informally adopted an American first name.

Anyway, our top official in the China plant decided since he was the top official he would adopt the name King. Joe King. The second in command selected for himself the name of Jumbo. Every time I have to call over there and ask if Jumbo Wang is available I suspect they are laughing their back sides off.
