[Cacophonous]

I can remember in the Yankee Capital a few years ago when a black city official was bemoaning his department's niggardly budget, and got taken to task by the Cult of the Perpetually Outraged, Offended and Pissed for use of a racially insensitive word. The most discouraging aspect of the whole incident, to me, was that the guy apologized (and I could be wrong, but I think he also resigned).

He was white

...and I could be wrong, but I think he also resigned...

You are correct sir, he did resign. DC Mayor Williams rehired David Howard a month later though.
