Chinese restaurant controversy

A local Chinese restaurant is getting complaints about bad taste - not from its food, but from its advertising. Eggrolls Etc. is a Chinese food delivery and take-out restaurant. It distributed advertisement fliers on the East side that read, "Every order is delivered via rickshaw by first generation Chinese immigrants... We really should charge more for delivery, old Chinamen are getting expensive these days." Mike Reynolds, the restaurant's owner says it's meant as a joke, no to be intended to be offensive, but some members of Tucson's Asian-American community are not laughing.
