a word about an offensive word



It's with a mix of feelings that I read about the latest change to Pittsburgh's branding.

I must say that as a person of Oceanic Redistributor origin, I strongly object to the offensive name "Pirates." Oceanic Redistributors are part of the rich cultural fabric of humanity's history, and to reduce them to a cultural stereotype with eyepatches and strong rhotic articulation is demeaning and insensitive.
