That spanish word for black is horrible. When I was in the Dominican drinking negro rum, I couldn't help but feel deep deep shame for my choices.

A buddy of mine (who happens to be black) went to buy a new Hyabusa a while back. When he ordered it the sales person asked him what color he wanted it in. He told the sales person he wanted it in "knee-grow". When he said that the salesman looked at him like his head on was on fire. There was also a town in Georgia called Dykesville. It has streets names with the word dyke in it. They changed the city name to something less offensive such as Cochron (pronounced Cock-run) Also on our MARTA train (subway like train) they renamed the lines to color. They had one called the yellow line that ran to a heavily populated asian area. They changed it to the gold line.
