Pekin, Illinois, is named that because it's half way around the world from Pekin, China.

In 1981 the high school changed its mascot's name from the "Chinks" to the "Dragons."

See - it can be done!

I can just see their new mascot, D.C. Dick, in a giant dildo costume leading the fans in a rousing chorus of "Hail to the Foreskins"....

Personally, I'd go with "Toms."
