In your opinion you mean Larry? Do you speak for the people in Spain or
Catalonia or Spanish speaking countries and presume to know what it means
to them or are you viewing through the prism of what you think that some of
the US population considers it means or how you use it?
I just don't get this whole intolerance and sensitivity thing personally.
I always thought of Gilbert and Sullivan as light opera with English style
from the time. I have enjoyed it while being by no means an expert.  Shall
we also condemn everything that doesn't fit the current era and political
correctness perhaps?


Cheers
