LOL, very well said. People are so damn sensitive these days. Myself, I am a four-eyed carrot top. Being mainly Welsh, there are many nicknames for my sort on the "island." I'm also part polish - a polack, if you will. You should have heard what my polish grandmother would say to her spanish husband (my grampa) - oy, vey!
All four of my grandparents were off the boat, so to speak. I have always found it amazing that America, supposedly the "great melting pot" seems to be one of the most sensitive places in the world regarding stereotypes and nicknames.
Crybabies, indeed. Well said, my kraut friend =)
