In yet another example of political correctness run amok, the Northampton Human Rights Commission (Mass.) is complaining about the proper use of the word "Plantation".

NORTHAMPTON - The name of a 29-home subdivision called "The Plantation at West Farms" being built off Burts Pit Road has sparked complaints of racial insensitivity, but the project developers say they have no intention of changing the name.

Those who object to the name "The Plantation," which appears in large pink script on the subdivision's billboard on Westhampton Road, say the term is inextricably linked to Southern plantations and slavery.

"They used to raise tobacco here, and it was such a large property that it was called the plantation," Wzorek said. "The name had nothing to do with racism or anything like that."

Is it me, or does it seem like these people actively look for things to complain about?
