Ahem. A certian unnamed group would disagree with you.
That certain unnamed group would be WRONG, too!
Reminds me of a Cleveland local TV show that's been on for years, which started with the original Ghoulardi, and then kept the format after Ernie Anderson left to go to Hollywood. They always poked fun at Polish people (Cleveland is full of people of Polish descent), until they were told that they couldn't mention the nationality (undoubtedly because of all the very unPC Pollack jokes that used to go around). The TV show got around it by referring to them as "a certain ethnic" person, or "certain ethnic" people. It just made their skits and jokes even funnier. Characters like the Keilbasa Kid, Mary Hartski, Ben Crazy, and stuff like that. Anyone on this thread from the Cleveland area will know exactly what I'm talking about.
