I deleted the sentence "Lin has been cited as an example of extreme political correctness" for two reasons. First, no citation is given as far as I can see. Second, the sentence that followed it — telling how Lin once referred to some French citizens as African Americans — was a non sequitur. To call a non-American an American isn't politically correct: it's simply wrong. If there was evidence that some people believed it to be political correctness then that might justify puttting the two sentences together, but no such evidence appears to be given.

I also deleted "who had been killed" (which referred to the French citizens). "Who had died" would represent a neutral point of view, but in any case the fact that they died is irrelevant to this article.158.109.1.15 (talk) 01:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
