Calling a black person black isn’t racist, neither is there anything wrong in calling someone fat. Do you shy back from describing a scene as beautiful or a person as tall?  Tall, short, fat, thin, fast, slow - these are merely adjectives, words we use to describe the world around us.  Is an apple any better than an orange?  The stigmas that have come to be associated with certain words will continue to be preserved if we behave the way we do today; instead we must make efforts to do things the natural/ideal way.  The choice is between forever preserving the past in and living unnaturally or moving on, living freely and creating the future we want.
