Plenty of other examples of this nonsense. The other one that springs to mind is black coffee --> "coffee without milk"
As for me, I don't give a shit. I just continue with the terms I've used all my life. Black is a colour. Not a race or species. In fact I've started using it more. Especially terms like blackmail, blacklist and to be caught blackhanded.
No need to ban English. By the time they've finished butchering the language, it will be a different language anyway.Next they'll be saying that English itself is derogatory because its the language of the evil white imperialists.
Political correctness is a linguistic cancer.
