But you can raise the next generation without having them surrounded by casual reminders of past racism.

In terms of black hole and white dwarf - I don't see an issue with either, they are literally describing the colour of the objects in question (although white dwarves will eventually cool to become black dwarves).

In the same way that a red giant isn't a slur on those with red hair.
