The recent "near riot" out at Pensacola Beach raises a question. That strip of public beach where the altercation occurred is commonly called "Chicken Bone Beach," a name with negative connotations and arguably racist origins. I've heard people call it that most of my life; I don't know if it even has an official name. How should we label it? On the one hand I'm hesitant to legitimize potentially offensive nomenclature, but on the other hand I don't want to sacrifice thoroughness over concerns of political correctness. Any thoughts? --Admin 16:12, 29 April 2008 (CDT)
