Since graduating from law school I have only lived in New York, and before that I spent a lot of time in Moscow and Hong Kong, and the places I have traveled for business have tended to either be big cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Jakarta, Moscow, Manila) or really obscure places (Ulan Bator, Tyumen, Nizhny Tagil).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
