How much longer before Chicago Blackhawks follow suit?

The new NHL team is named the Seattle "Kraken", after some Scandinavian sea monster, I think.

Well I'm offended because Kraken sounds too much like 'Cracka' which is a racial slur against white people. 

I demand it is changed immediately.

Is the term'A Chinese Snooker' still allowed?

 

#21.  The Daddy. Don't be offended by the word Kraken. It's the plural of Krake, meaning octopus,in German. A Krake is also known as a Tintenfisch meaning Ink fish.

 

Krake is also a name in Scandinavian Mythology. A giant octopus fish.

 

Many pubs including Whetherspoins sell a short called Kraken. Look at the Kraken on the bottle label.

You’re not supposed to say ‘oriental’ either, friends or otherwise.

Yes Jim, I think the term 'Oriental' is  just to be used as a geographical reference (say's whom?). Where does that leave our red shirted footballing friends from Leyton, London?

And they- now Native Americans- can't refer to white men as palefaces anymore. And if they do, who's gonna dare to shut them up?

At this rate, perhaps some in the Indian sub-continent will object to Hull City FC's nickname.

Yes, I've heard it used in commentaries in the World Snooker Championship.
