I grew up in Pekin, live 5 minutes from peoria now (Washington, out by ICC), were we still the Chinks when you went to manual or had we already became the Dragons? I know by 1992 we were the Dragons... If you aren't in the area any more, Pekin has lightened up it's racist image quite a bit over the years. I think the mention on Letterman was about when things starting lightening up in that town.
