"Not sure how the UUP or SDLP feel, though."Not sure anyone cares any more. You might as well ask the Alliance Party. Ironically, the UUP (under the name of something like Ulster Conservatives and Unionists -- New Farce) lost its only seat in the General Election in May and the Alliance Party gained their first seat ever. But the SDLP still have clung on to three, probably because their constituents don't take too kindly to Sinn Féin refusing to take their seats. |

Actually, they were forced to do so by NCAA rules on Native American Team Names.Most of the ones remaining, notably the Seminoles and the Utes, are approved by the tribes. North Dakota's Fighting Sioux has a problem in that one tribe supports the name, and another tribe does not, so they're on the NCAA championship ban list. Really, the worst case of a PC name change was Staten Island's Port Richmond HS, where an attempt was made to force the change from 'Red Raiders' to 'Raiders', even though the red in the name referred to the school colors of red and black, and had never had any Native American association, nor did they use any Indian mascots. |

I treat each and every human I meet as just that- a human. I don't even like recognizing race (obviously, if I'm giving a description to the police, I really have no choice) if I can avoid it.So that's it? We shouldn't use the color yellow? By that logic, we should ban the whole visible spectrum- I mean, different groups could be offended by the existence of white, brown, black, red. Let's move on. |

The problem with Oriental is that it looks at Asians from a solely Western viewpoint.And in the phrase "Western viewpoint" you concede the need for a prime meridian. Everyone from 60°E (just right of the easternmost tip of Arabia) to 180°E (where Spider-pig thinks no-one lives) is oriental. Everyone from 60°W (sort of Nova Scotia) to 180°W (Spider-pig and Sarah Palin) is occidental. Everyone in the middle is just bankrupt. THIW. |
