Exactly. For the time period, some name calling was about the last thing you need worry as a black man or woman in the day. Doesn't excuse it, but to omit the use and reality of the state of affairs is to whitewash the situation, and I think people who want to be racially sensitive should be more outraged by portraying a flat out lie. It's a black mark on American History, and to PC it up is a bigger insult.
