Ross Thomas was a Washington reporter turned crime novelist. At one point he was given a list of words that he should shun because they were offensive.

One of the words was 'Dwarf' and another was "Chinaman.'

His next two novels were "The Eighth Dwarf," and "Chinaman's Chance."

Both are really good reads.

    I’m so glad none of the dwarves were called “Sexy”. 😬

    Only four of them aren't those things.

    True, unless that xor wasn't a typo, in which case all seven of them aren't those things.

    No, wait, I got that backwards. It would still be 4 (ignoring the fact that an xor can't have three inputs, anyway). (Fuck it. It's been too long since I've needed to know this shit. I need another beer.)
