RE: [A/S] Politically Correct
<<Airstream12557 said "I have read in the Blue Beret where there is a
campaign to change the term
used for the effluent in the second holding tank from "Gray Water" to a less
offensive and more accurate "Wash Water". Did someone forget to tell
Airstream?">>
May be out of place here, but if there is one thing that I hate is being
forced to worry about being "politically correct" in what I consider really
silly situations. I just can not see anything offensive about the term "gray
water" (after all, IT IS that color) and have to wonder just exactly who it
is that has nothing more significant to do in their life than sit around
getting offended by that term and coming up with an alternative. Talk about
someone needing to get a grip!! Yes, most of the population in the US had
some terms and actions that were and are offensive to sections of our
population, and hopefully we addressed those offensive terms beginning in
the 1960's. But being told (BY WHOM??) not to use the term "gray water"? Or
am I just out of touch?
