>you're welcome

I hope that was a joke. It's very sad to see people take credit for achievements of others just on the grounds that they happen to share the same nationality/race/religion/birth place.

Sure, someone of your tribe achieved X in the past, very well done, but how did YOU contribute to that? Winning the lottery of birth is not an achievement.

It’s very clearly said as an attempt at humour, rather than them actually taking credit for something they didn’t do.

He doesn't sound like he's joking to me (see his other reply), at least the "clearly" in your reply was unwarranted.

Edit: Anyway I'm starting to believe that this whole submission/thread should be flagged. It certainly discusses many things besides the theft of the tablet.
