Say you've got a dog and you're not sure what breed it is. Maybe it's part poodle? With a little bit of Labrador? And it drools a lot, so maybe there's some St. Bernard mixed into the DNA?Most people call these dogs "mutts." But in Washington, D.C., owners are being asked to refer to them as "Xoloitzcuintli" when filling out pet-licensing paperwork with the District's health department.LINK 4951

Xoloitzcuintli is an actual breed of dog. It's not a mixed breed of unknown origin like mutts are, it's its own breed.

Xolos are NOT mutts and mutts are NOT xolos. I don't know what it has to do with political correctness though 4951

I thought PC had to do with trying to not hurt someone's feelings. Which is why I don't see how this ill conceived idea is PC. Who gets their feelings hurt by designating mutts as mutts? Does mutt have some offensive meaning that I don't know about? Or are the dogs themselves offended at not having labradoodle an option? 4951

@4psychos: I'm going to call my dogs illegal canines and expect a government check from the Obama administration.

@KellyG:
 
This cause sounds like a new PETA advert in the making. MEAT is MURDER! MEAT is MURDER! Oh sorry I got all caught up in my rally cry and forgot the true topic we were talking about.
 
HAHA. 4951

Meat is murder.  I guess that's why I'm going to spend the rest of my life being punished...by eating meat until the day I die.  That's just horrible torture Emoticon 4951
