That's not racism, that's bean-counting. I am equally annoyed
with Adobe, for example, for providing Japanese support in
FrameMaker but not building in Unicode, and not offering it on a
Linux platform. (There was a Linux Beta of FrameMaker a while
back, and the company decided that there wasn't enough interest.
