As I once heard a mexican comedian say (can't remember his name):
"This PC shit has gone too far. Pretty soon, people aren't going to be able to identify muggers and murderers and stuff like that. 'Well, ma'am, what did he look like?' 'A person...you know...he was...um...a person, just like everyone else! Are you trying to say I'm racist or something?' I tell you right now - the guy who robbed me was most definitely Mexican, like me! I could tell because he had fourteen people in his car, with a king-sized mattress on top. It wasn't tied down, either - everyone had one arm out the window holding it down!"
Edit: Point being, there's a difference between calling someone "Hispanic" and a "Spic," just like there's a difference between calling someone "mentally retarded" and a "fucktard."
