Mike,
While the wording may have been in bad taste, it is not meant to be
racial. It is, for us old timers, just a way of saying: Fixing
something with a temporary means (i.e. tape, wire, etc), which will
still require the correct fix in the future, instead of fixing it
correctly and permantly now.
