BTW, I know of at least two derogatory terms concerning my nation:
"Polak" (which is exactly what a Polish man is called in Polish) is
considered rude in the US, and "polnische Wirtchaft" is very
derogatory in German. I have to admit that I am not extremely happy
because of these terms, but it's not a real problem for me.
It's definitely good to know that when choosing names one should be
careful. I just hope that none of the language related tags in context
is problematic. (Years ago there was a really nasty discussion on the
xetex list about naming languages in some latex package .. sort of got
out of hands.)
