    Please!!! Try to imagine the uproar in the US if the original name was used!! It is offensive enough over here, and we don't have the immense historical baggage to cope with. That name - innocently used as it was at the time - is inextricably linked to a history of lynching, segregation, violence and apartheid in the US. Time moves on, and things and words used years ago often cause a bit of stir later. We used to visit the "loonies" in the asylums to point and laugh in Victorian and pre-Victorian times. Hands up who thinks that is right now?
