California Creek name to stay the same despite cultural insensitivity claim

Officials decided Tuesday not to change the name of Negro Creek, located in Nevada County, California despite cultural insensitivity claims by the NAACP. After already being changed once last summer from the pejorative "N-word" to Negro, officials dictated that Negro is only an objective term used today. Leon Jenkins of the NAACP complained saying, "If you are willing to change it to negro, how much of a push would it take to change it to black? How much harder would that have been?"
