Subject: RE: Is 'Piccaninnies' Non-PC ?
An aside...

Can we please stop using the word 'racist'... it's a falacy in and of itself... the word for someone who hates someone else because of their skine tone, or ethinc back ground is BIGOT... RACE-ism doen't exist... there is only ONE race of upright walking, tool using, language spouting, cave painting homonid on this planet... We're all the same race... Otherwise we wouldn't be able to breed together...(waiting for someone to mention cats and rabbits but...)

It's just one of those language foibles that bugs me... like people who say "irrergardless"... there's no such word...
