Ha. Political correctness is an odd thing...
Each new term for a group of people has often been an attempt to wipe clean the negative
connotations attached to the old terms, which were invented to clear away the nasty
connotation of the previous term, etc....
Until people actually stop being racist, all the new and improved politically correct terms
will keep becoming the slurs of the next generation.[inkling]

My yard is now lit to the hilt by my latino neighbors on either side.....
Just an observation here, it may or may not be cultural or perhaps just personal but when I was a kid and we would go out of town, my parents would comment about the way "Americanos" always kept their neighborhoods so dark at night. They felt unsafe. Now as for me, I live out in the country, and I love the dark. I can walk out and see all the fireflies and stars. I hate the bright lights too. My mom hates it that it is so dark when they stay over.
