Linda seems to be a bit clueless about what racial terminology is. Yes, slants is not a very common name for Asians but Orientals is. And anachronistic racial terms, or any racial terms, for that matter, should not be used as mascots. We don't have trams like the Negroes or the Orientals for a good reason. Pirates are not a race nor is it derogstory to an entire continent of people.
