The problem with some of the words that are now labelled politically incorrect is that
they have been infused with venom by ignorant slobs who think they can build
themselve up by tearing someone else down. So the "white trash" built themselves
up in their own estimation, by venomous use of the "N" word, which in the beginning
was merely properly descriptive. The proponents of PC have merely over-reacted in a
self-defeating way to try to correct widespread insensitivity. Maybe someday "Wasp"
will really be a dirty word that my great-grandchildren will have to cringe at.
