(San Francisco) I looked up excelsior once in the dictionary, it is wood shaving packing material. Why that became the name of a district, I don't know. A lot of warehouses? I wanted to title this post, "Those Mexicans will say anything", but it was starting to get a little racist in here. However, from what little I understand of Mexican Spanish, it does seem that Political Correctness has not hit that culture yet. Prime example: Chino means Chinaman. The burrito joint here in the richmond (a predominantly asian district) is called Chino's. I can not imagine opening up a sandwich shop called Chinaman's. If you're fat, they call you fat. If you are black they call you black. Can someone correct me where I'm wrong? Help me understand? This was so deep in the mission it became excelsior.
