Konrad,

Perhaps you should think twice about posting bigoted statements on a public
forum.

The only question it raises is not about the quality of computer
programming code written by developers from certain countries, but about
the quality of your character and the kind of person you are. How you take
a discussion on import duties in Denmark to a value judgement based on
someone's race is eye opening.

Regards,
Arjun
