In that case, I probably need to switch to what must be the proper label, since it appears in the name of a leading organization and on a charitable organization that supports various colleges and university, and was formerly used in the name of an entire religious denomination. Used to see that one on some waiting rooms and over some water coolers. So, historically founded, as well.

Reminds me of an attorney I worked with (who knows, maybe you are her) that whatever label someone used, she’d repeat it in a shocked and offended tone of voice. Put most white folk on the defensive. I think she respected me because I didn’t flinch and didn’t back off. I also told her that I was a Cracker, and she was free to call me that.
President Trump is not "woke" but you won't hear him use those terms.
After the 1970s, we stopped using those words in our language.
So each time if a FReeper uses an outdated word, I'm going to call him out on it.
