Thanks. Your friend was no doubt kind and disliked ruffling feathers or explaining over and over.

OT, for sure and stomping on well flattened earth:
Here, we use "black", African American", etc. For obvious reasons we do not use "nigger".
That said, we should not use "laplander" for the previously hinted reasons. The word is "Sami".
No Linking To Japanese Newspaper Without Permission 134
stovicek writes with this excerpt from Ars Technica about the Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun, or Nikkei (English language site, so far apparently unaffected): "Nikkei has taken efforts to preserve its paywall to absurd new levels: anyone wanting to link to the site must submit a formal application. [...] The New York Times, which reported on the new policy on Thursday, notes that the newspaper market in Japan is radically different from that in the US. Although some smaller outlets are experimenting with new ways of reaching readers, most papers require subscriptions to access online content, and the barriers have kept circulation of print editions quite high compared to the US. Nikkei management appears worried that links could provide secret passages to content that should be safely behind the paywall, and this fear has led to the new approval policy."
