What is with these special interest groups demanding that everyone submit to their demands? They see one of the "off limits" words often used to describe their group and they go ballistic. As a result, regular folks like is are forced to shell out extra money to meet their demands.
This particular populace is well known for making such requests. They want established language changed so it doesn't offend their sensibilities. To me, it's all a bunch of PC crap that shouldn't be allowed.

I think the word has been misused so much that it's immediately seen as an insult now, but in reality, it's a medical definition. You can probably get away with "nigga" all day long, but don't say the retard word!
