I think if they vote to change it becuase they want it changed, more power to them. I think the PC angle is thrown in just to help convince people the change "should" happen. Realistically, I think it's dumb. What if you had a city called Negro... of latin/spanish heritage that has black sand beaches. It would never last. How lame. I think I'm going to campaign to make common words have derogatory meanings. Maybe people will eventually get sick of it. Personally, I'm offended by Nabisco calling things "crackers". I find this to be a racial slur against my heritage and background. Also, I will start calling all asian people "noodles". I will mean this in the most negative possible way (I love asian people, so... we'll see how this works out). Maybe it'll catch on. Then packaging throughout the nation will have to be changed.
