Over on Wikipedia, some are claiming that this word and its antonym are racist, or that a significant number of people believe that these words are racist. Is there any evidence of this?

- They've now posted several links proving that some people do consider these terms to have racial connotations, so I think these entries each need a usage note. Adam9007 (talk) 19:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
