Time for tolerance After picking up my daughter from San Benito High School in tears today, I've been pondering the political correctness of ethnic/racial slurs. Our family is French, and she spent the day defending her nationality to classmates and, unfortunately, teachers. Some of the remarks directed at her included the following: "All French are stupid." "France is a nation of cowards." "You French are a bunch of idiots." Insert some other country of origin or ethnic background in the above sentences, such as Mexican or African American, and you've got a lawsuit on your hands. So are such slurs...
