WASP - now that is derogatory!
I was thinking more about the flatulence that was my ancestry. All through the sixties, everybody wanted to be equal to them. I could never understand why.Yeah, they are annoying little bastards and can sting too. :lol:

those mentioned items are there,but the naming of people is an ongoing issue,and not only recorede history,so you are very wrong and your comment is out of contexet with regard to the issue or subject matter being debatedShould we remove "heathen" from the history books too? How do you propose to understand history if you remove the context by applying contemporary tendencies? Observing the changes over time and analyzing them against the present is useful for understanding why things are the way they are today. This is also useful for looking forward. If you can't identify those changes because you replaced the language in historical documents with the contemporary language, then you have lost the historical value.
Revisionism should be about expanding our knowledge of the past by broadening, not diluting the markers by which we measure change...
Have you taken many history classes?
Have you taken history classes ??? , that is a bloody joke my friend,I am not from the tree topsAt one time the RCMP labeled me a "person of interest." Should I consider that a derogatory term? Can I take that to the HRC?

history has bloody nothing to do with the present use of that bloody word ColouredSo what else would be scrubbed from History in order to satisfy the politically correct beliefs - Please remember that 10 or 20 years from now what we think is PC may be found to be needing a scrubbing from the history books.
Next you would also purge all literary texts as well in order to meet your PC standards.Why you could be out of date in 10 years. Then what? Oh yes more scrubbing.
What kind of coloured are we talking about here?history has bloody nothing to do with the present use of that bloody word Coloured
