how about "midgets" and "spooks".
I didn't know the slang meanings of spook until I saw a movie "The Human Stain".

Just incredible. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Psycluded]

So what about literary works, like Lord of the Rings, etc?

Are fictional dwarves (the kind that live in mountains and mine riches there) going to be rewritten in British editions of these works?

[TLAM Strike]

Will "Dorf on Golf" be affected?

No, but 'Snow White and the Seven D***fs' certainly will.

Or is 'S**w W***e' a racial slur now?

On the other hand I have a book called Politically Correct Fairy Tales which has one chapter titled 'Snow White and the Seven Vertically Challenged Workers'.

Oh, just realized something: is 'Fairy Tale' now politally incorrect?

It's not a law - just more paranoia from 'The Sun.'

A company called Jasper Publishing sent a script to an amatuer dramatics society that had changed the word 'dwarf' to gnomes to avoid offending people. It was a choice, not legislation.

Go ahead and scream 'it's pollitical correctness gone mad!,' but here is what the Publisher says:

Mr Sperinck, a director of the firm, said nobody had ever raised questions about the script before.

He said: "Obviously someone has got hold of the idea that the titles have been altered for political correctness and seems not to be aware that times change.

"There used to be a show on the television called the Black and White Minstrels which was withdrawn because it was politically incorrect, or felt to be.

"If you were 3ft 6in would you prefer to be called a dwarf in a pantomime or a gnome?

if i was 3ft 6 id rather be called a dwarf than gnome in fact id take it offencivly if i was called a gnome
