Would seem like a fair thing then for you to link back to <a href="http://www.robsherman.com/" rel="nofollow">his site and response,</a> and what I was referring to incidentally. Thanks for posting my comment. Just a quick add: Sherman linked to your post in his response–’twas how I found your blog.

He makes a compelling argument for his earnest, albeit archaic, word choice. I have long argued that people should be called as they wish, but it's a murky thing to know: ex. 'Hispanic' vs. 'Latino'. Mr. Sherman makes a good point:'Negro' is still a suitable term according to the United Negro College Fund, so it follows that it is still a politically correct usage. Maybe he could phrase things more smoothly, but, Mr. Jacobson, also sounds like there are a few entities in this story that need to work on not being so reactionary and quick to judge.
