Sometimes the PC police can get out of hand

The Phoenix Suns have an assistant General Manager by the name of Vinny Del Negro. Today in an Arizona Republic sports blog/column this paragraph appeared...

"I'm sure they're a little more inconsistent than Pop wants, but he's in control of that situation," said Suns Assistant General Manager Vinny Del (inappropriate term), who spent six seasons with the Spurs. "When you're able to win four championships in the Tim Duncan era, you get some leeway. They get a little bit of a pass for being inconsistent at times because they've been successful at the most important time."

Good thing that auto-censor is alert!

4. That's retarded

The word negro is just Spanish or Portuguese for black, maybe other languages as well for all I know. It's no different than Jack White, Jack Black, or any number of other common names. Just from another language, and it has no racial implications as far as I can see.

Virtually everybody calls her Miss out of fear of appearing sexist, it drives her crazy.
