That's jump on the bandwagon peasant talk. People are called white (Caucasian-ruddy complexion) , black, and Mexicans even sing about their color in pop culture songs like Piel Morena (brown skin).

When relating medical information it starts with e.g. I have a 23 y.o. black female ..., in that order, because age takes precedence over race which takes precedence over gender when it comes to relative importance of other information in medical context.

Yet this generation is not supposed to call ANYONE red skin because it was used as a derogatory comment how long ago? And how exactly am I responsible for that? How is a sports team that chose its name with pride mocking it? Do you think the US government put a Native American heads on its one cent coin, five cent coin, in 2001 on a commemorative silver dollar, and on previous gold coins calling them Indian head coins just to mock them?

Impractical vocabulary changes are a panacea, an easy out for sheeple, throw a dog a bone because it's too much like work to change actual circumstances. If you think you should be embarrassed by the past, be embarrassed by the white trash reckoning you haven't evolved out of that attributes what the passage of time and fading memories are accomplishing to your changes in vocabulary so you can feel good about yourself.

"In God We Trust" is still on our currency; because, it has protected historical accuracy status. There's no shame in taking an historically accurate negative and trying to turn it into a positive by being able to point to it and say look how far we've come rather than just trying to delete it. Lazy, lazy sheeple.
