Quote - Would it be so un-PC to use this as a keyword vendors? For search purposes?

yes.

'black' is apparently non-pc now, but calling someone white remains perfectly acceptable.

i was called a racist for naming my nappy afro hair 'Nappy Fro', and then again when i renamed it to 'Kinky Fro'.

people can choose to get offended over everything, even stupid unimportant stuff. like women getting offended over the word 'manhole cover' and insisting it be renamed personhole cover  :rolleyes:
