Hi-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My wife and I live in the Triangle area of North Carolina Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city has recently launched a “don’t pour grease down the drain” campaign called “Don’t Be a Greaser.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an unacceptable racial slur. I called the manager of the city’s sewer service to inform him that “greaser” is an offensive term. He first pleaded ignorance — and then told me where to put my comments and concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’d like to ask your help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m copying in a list of people in Raleigh government — as well as an article on the program from the Raleigh News and Observer (local daily paper).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks,
Alan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
