Perhaps some education on the part of the manufacturer is in order? torresongshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529243889306597248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-24186616195345546152012-12-06T21:49:01.092-08:002012-12-06T21:49:01.092-08:00I like Luke's comment- prairie bread is just a...I like Luke's comment- prairie bread is just as descriptive a name for the bread as the other.

Not that we need masses of derogatory terms in the lingo, but... we have them, making them magically disappear from public text changes very little.<br /><br />In the UK we have fairly stringent anti hate speech laws which are patchily and randomly applied, and as far as I can tell all the racists think "Oh that's just a stupid PC law, everybody still thinks the same as I do!"<br /><br />In my view we'd be better off leaving the linguistics to sort themselves out and tackling people's bad attitudes and weird viewpoints.<br /><br />^_^Gumbootnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-1324298081966879162012-11-29T18:22:57.920-08:002012-11-29T18:22:57.920-08:00How about we just expunge archaic, hateful, bigote...How about we just expunge archaic, hateful, bigoted and derogatory terms that belittle people and dehumanize them?Sleestakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512281434803286602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-36524873196818601002012-11-29T12:13:29.271-08:002012-11-29T12:13:29.271-08:00I've been following your blog for a couple of ...I've been following your blog for a couple of years at least- Thanks for the good times! I'd point out that expunging terms like Squaw Bread from our language is actually a more hateful and damaging act than retaining them. Let's not err on the side of linguistic cleansing, eh? Nothing is less sexy than groupthink.
