I didn't use an encyclopedia to find that out, it was something that I learned about a long time ago. The point is that although that is what people may think it means, that is not what it does mean. Thus, that makes the people using it in economic terms wrong. It also means that the reactions of some of the people in this thread to the term because they feel it is rascist is unwarranted.

Leaders will always be paranoid and are possible to over react about other country's movements. That's nothing new..unless he actually does something.
