Re: [Callers] Politically Correct?

In the land of freedom and rugged individualism I find that my choices in many realms of my life are being eaten away. Go for it! Call what you want and don't worry about what others are going to say. For me the PC stuff has gone over board. Calling is difficult enough without having to be paranoid about everything you say. Yes always be respectful, not intentionally disrespectful. I was surprised when calling at Glen Echo last Sunday. I warned the crowd that I'll try not to use "gypsy" but having called for 35 years I may slip up. The rolling of eyes and moaning etc. of practically all of the dancers told me that none of the dancers there give a hoot about gypsy and find the rule silly. I respect the decisions of any dance community for setting guidelines etc but wonder how representative of the people some of these decisions are. Tom Hinds Sent from my iPad
