Congratulations, you have defeated racism.
I get that this is sarcasm and trolling. This change is definitely an easy target as it seems silly on the surface.
Defeating racism is a long journey (probably generations) with many steps along the way. This particular step relates to subtle messages we send to young people with the terminology we use. It may seem insignificant to you, but it’s meaningful to others.
