I couldn't care less what anyone calls me. I know who I am and where my heritage hails from. Call me a "Harp" or a "Frog" and I take no offense. In fact I am proud of my (Harp) Irish (Frog) French heritage. My wife who is 100% Indian calls me a mutt. Be proud of who you are and where you come from regardless if the word used can be or is considered derogatory. Political correctness be damned!
