I can't do that, Since Swedish-Norwegian-Polish-Ukrainian-German*

Swedish-French journalist Jan Guillou advocates the
same manoeuvre with the racial slur _svartskalle_
'blackhead' for 'mediterranean', but nobody seems
to pick up. Once on a tram I saw an interesting
case of layered graffiti: first someone had written
"kill all blackheads", which someone had altered
into "kill all whiteheads", which a third person
had sensibly altered into "kill all stupidheads"!
/BP (who doesn't dare identifying my handicap as
"CP" (cerebral palsy) since some people use that
as a synonym for 'idiot'...)
/BP 8^)
