The soup served in Strasbourg, formely called "Pork Soup" ("soupe au cochon"), has been latter renamed "Strasbourg Sausages Soup" ("soupe aux saucisses de Strasbourg"), judged less offending by the group. The society we're living in is so PC now.

When I hear stories like these, I really feel happy for living in such a
awkward country. No matter what those on high stands or minorities want something to be called, it can even be oficially changed, though no one will call it that. I remember a street near where I lived, the street changed its name some ten times in thirty years, I never heard no one calling it anything but «Travessa da Cadeia»...
A famous saying around here when someone says something very un-PC: It's time to call things by their names.
