“Kimchi” quote[edit]

I have removed the claim that Asashoryu used insulting language towards a Korean journalist, which seemed to be the justification for an IP editor repeatedly adding the “Anti Korean sentiment in Japan” category to this article (despite the fact that Asashoryu is Mongolian...) The alleged quote was poorly sourced, and even if a reliable source can be found, I don’t think it passes WP:UNDUE. From what I can tell, Asashoryu simply became annoyed with the journalist who was bizarrely saying that kimchi can prevent SARS. I don’t think it deserves a place in the article.
