In the spirit of Political Correctness that has recently been discussed on the list, I would like to share with you some of the ethnic slurs directed at me, a chubby Norwegian-American. In our quest to be sensitive and considerate there is always one group left out; Norwegian-Americans.

These are the ones that hurt the most.
