Me too. I wish that FR would ban the word "Amish" ...

How very liberal of you.

Well then, let me slightly rephrase my previous statement. If I were the owner of FR, I would ban the word "Amish" when used in a racial context.

And that would be for two reasons. Number one, it turns serious conversations into silly ones. If you are referring to, say, inner city blacks, just go ahead and say inner city blacks. Why be so timid?

And two, the use of "Amish" just bores me personally. It's like an old joke heard for the hundreth time.

Of course, you might feel differently.
