While on the subject, my favorite politically incorrect name was associated with a high school in Pekin, Illinois. They called themselves the "Pekin Chinks" and had done so since the 1930's. The students were proud of the name and wore it without a hint of disrespect or intended derision to anyone. It was simply what they were called. Once discovered by the PC crowd, they were hounded until they changed to the "Dragons". Now, all is well in PC land. But never rule out the possibility that some idiot will step forward to protect the image and inherent dignity of the reptile family>>

They were called chinks because of all the pheasants in the area called chinks. I do remember when there was a sign there that said don't let the sun not shine on a black ass.
