I play Scrabble and Negro is disallowed. I agree with Rooney, what is wrong with that word. It's no different than Caucasian

Scrabble Rules - Permitted Words - Any words listed in a standard dictionary are permitted except those only spelled with an initial capital letter, abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes and words requiring apostrophes and hyphens. Foreign words in a standard English dicionary are considered to have been absorbed into the English language and are allowed.

Why is negro not allowed?

Isn't there a wine or champaign with the word Negro in it? If so, looks like a name change is in the future.

I have A LOT of problems with the term CAUCASIAN! THE ONLY TRUE CAUCASIANS ARE ARMENIANS AND GEORGIANS!

Call me white, call me cracker, call me honkey, but DO NOT call me caucasian!

I have to agree with you.

I get tired of liberals changing the rules as to what words mean and who is allowed to use them.

If there is clear proof for how liberalism has created Aldus Huxley's Brave New World in our culture, political correctness is it.
