...negrohead?

I know. Apparently it's a more polite version of the ethnic slur which is what it USED to be called by invader-types before 1960. Stay classy California.

The link doesn't go to an article on Negrohead. But how said I've lived in this state for some-odd years and have never heard of it?

Oops. Fixed the link. I know, there's all sorts of weird ugliness lurking around in California.
