N'exagérons pas

One used to hear remarks and jokes to the effect that 1 in 5 babies born were Chinese. I haven't heard such talk recently. I thought it might be PC encroaching, until I caught sight of this book: 




In a similar vein, I was once upstairs on a London bus and heard someone asking her companion "So what language do they speak in Switzerland, then?"

Came the reply, "Cantonese."


No doubt she would have thought this book meant that we're all Swiss now.
