Dear CSSA at UC Editor:
	In your last news distribution (CSSA NEWS Oct. 16), the 
"New Official Politically Correct Terms for
1996" is not funny at all. It is most apparent this kind of garbage is
fabricated by some white male Americans who are terribly insecure of
their dominant positions in this society (does Bob Costas come to mind?),
and who feel threatened by blacks, Asians, women and other minorities. It
is a sad perversion and unusual foolishness on the side of CSSA, as an
organization for Chinese, to disseminate this kind of trashy stuff which is
most attuned to the mind-set of white frat boys with a tinge of racism
and sexism, especially after what happened this summer during the Atlanta
Olympics, and after General Colin Powell recently referred to the 1.2
billion people of China as "Chinaman". 
	If any of you think this is funny, let's add more terms to this
list, to make it complete, which I'm sure would delight and entertain even
more the section of the population that truly enjoy this kind of stuff: 

         OLD                             NEW
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chink					Chinese
Chinaman				people who come from China
Niggers					Blacks, Afro-Americans
Spics					Hispanics
Geek					Chinese, Asians (people who
						don't look white)
team winning Champions on drugs		Chinese women swimming team
human rights abusers			China
copy rights stealers			Chinese
intellectual property thief		Chinese
threat to peace of Taiwan Straight	China
a nation of 1.2 billion baby-killers	China

rude, politically correct, 		People who protested NBC and Bob
narrow-mind, overly sensitive bunch		Costas
....

	have we had fun yet?
	Hope we all learn the lesson that what's fun and hilarious
("with no intention of hurting anyone's feeling", as Mr. Costas nicely put
it) to a white frat boy, can be indeed repulsive and insulting to
everyone else.
