I guess one person's "PC" is another persons "politeness". (I don't curse in mixed company, either.)

well considering I AM polish and it doesn't bother me or the other Polacks that i know, i will continue to use the word as i see fit.

Living in an old Polack neighborhood, I really take pride in the one way to tick off one of us is to assume we are as "sensitive" and whiny as so many other nationalities/ethnicities. The term "Polack" is as impolite as we let it be, and from where I come from, we try to worry about real things. We will not become a humorless people.

I wish she'd capitalize it, however.

The President has had a special affection for Poland beginning before the war. He gave a speech in Poland and has had made appearances in Eastern Michigan where there is a strong Polish community.

On another note, I appreciate your effort to be sensitive to terms used as slurs. Nobody would defend them if they knew their history or heard the stories of their humiliating use. Take that from an Italian:)
