Its not that its racist. Its just that certain terms were used in the past in a derogatory way, so they are no longer politically correct. Yellow, Chinaman, Oriental, Slant eye, Negro, Brown skin, Redskin, Red man; while these terms are not harsh, they were all used at one time or another in a derogatory way. The term "Black" and "White" were never used negatively, so it's not considered racist now.
