add in the whites/blacks issue,
Caution: that term was considered improper in the 50's.
They were urged to use the word "colored"

I remember back in the early 70's when some people were still using the term "colored" while others were using the term "black". My older brother had a friend who used to say, "It is not nice to call people "colored", how would you like it if they called you "uncolored"? As a young kid, I got a chuckle out of that line but it also stuck with me and has made me mindful to be respectful when referring to any to any group of people.

True, it can be a sticky issue sometimes. I may just go with what's on the machine and be careful with what I write so as not to offend anyone.
