If you read the article that I provided, then you can see that those words are racist - regardless of what the flamers/spammers on this thread say. People don't tend to know that, because it's something that's so deeply rooted in our society.

You can choose to make a change knowing this information or not. Like I told Megabyte, I don't negatively judge if you decide not to make that change. It's pretty difficult to do something like completely wipe out a word from your vocabulary.
