It is also the case that real tribal dance is difficult, requires a lot of practice, and is pretty neat. So it is funny that "tribal" is automatically assumed to be an insult -- when refering to dance.

That's another word that shouldn't have racial meanings or be insulting. I've heard plenty of white people use it ---especially if they have plenty of kids ---they'll refer to their family as a "tribe". "I'll bring my tribe over about 6:00pm....."
