Silly me...I read a headline about this, but it didn't mention the racial aspect of the offensiveness. I thought they meant it was derogatory in the other way, as in...you know...the masters and slaves who....you know.
I guess I watch too much Law & Order: SVU.

Well, if we HAVE to get "PC" about this...think of how many times we are asked to press a button that clearly proclaims, "SUBMIT"...the mind reels at the implications thereof.
