I think anyone wouldn’t mind whatever name is used so long as it is intended to be respectful, regardless of the period of the term.

I’d be pissed if I were black and someone called me “African”. I am white and would be pissed if someone called me “Irish” or “British”, my two heritages. I am an American and neither Irish nor British are my race.

Non-Hispanic whites are often referred to as Anglos, a term that many of them almost certainly resent.
