No, he won't. Mr Chang is not noted for his community spirit.

ObProgramming:

Today I cobbled together the following code:

#include <math.h>

#define R(x) ((int)(((x) & 0xFF0000UL) >> 16))
#define G(x) ((int)(((x) & 0xFF00UL) >> 8))
#define B(x) ((int)((x) & 0xFFUL))

static double colour_distance(unsigned long ca, unsigned long cb)
{
   int rd = R(ca) - R(cb);
   int gd = G(ca) - G(cb);
   int bd = B(ca) - B(cb);
   return sqrt(rd * rd + gd * gd + bd * bd);
}

(and a driver, of course) to demonstrate that Mark Knight's tennis 
cartoon was not, as people were trying to make out, using colour to 
further racist stereotypes.

It was mildly interesting because, including the driver, it was 36 lines 
long, it compiled correctly first time, and it worked first time. That's 
a long way from being my record, but it's probably the longest this year 
for which I could make that claim.
