I don't think it's particularly difficult to find other terminology, but I'll agree that the will to do so appears lacking. Anyway, the Python folk really are committed to building and diversifying their community and are proactive about reaching out to people from countries where human trafficking is a current and pressing problem. I grew up in the US south and am old enough to have known the children and grandchildren of slaves. We are shown time after time after time that universalizing our own experience leads us to make some fundamental mistakes, as you do here. I'm also really unclear on what you expect the outcome of replying "No, you actually don't" to people who say "I care about <x>" will be. Melinda
