St. Louis TV station KMOV under fire after anchor uses ‘outdated’ racial term on air
A St. Louis television station is under fire after an anchor “mistakenly” described minority homeowners using an “outdated, offensive and racist” term.
Television station KMOV issued an apology for using the term on Feb. 26 while previewing a story about racial bias on home appraisals, according to reports.

Yeah, I’m not buying that one.
That’s my term for people with lots of tattoos
Can't make these PC word gymnastics stuff up.

NAACP are racists!
The NAACP will now change to “NAAPOC”.
It’s not a big deal, at least it shouldn’t be. Mistakes were msde. It least he didn’t say Nrgress or Darkie.
Those antiquated terms would have been far more problematic.
People of color...
What am I? Colorless?
I’m offended by the implication my skin does not have a definable color.
Naacp, anyone?
It’s hard to keep up: do these people have special pronouns?
Back in early 90s, I was doing some data mapping for a Key bank acquisition, and I recall seeing a lot of 80% and 90% LTV product categories.
How about Negro? That will probably really make their heads explode.
Fascist bots from Media Matters attack.
Holy cow they still call it that!

Total hypocrites!!! If a white person ever said that “N” word on TV their career would be utterly destroyed even though THAT is the name!!!
Look at this, the UNCF still uses the “N” word. So if a white reporter was doing a story on it, what does he say? “The United N College fund”? LOL!
