For a while there, “black” was considered derogatory term to use to refer to a person of African heritage. “African American” became the preferred term. Well, we’re back to “black” being en vogue again, so much so that it’s the AP Stylebook’s recommendation to capitalize it.

Meanwhile, “white” has pretty much stuck around consistently (though it’s generally not capitalized). We weren’t aware that it was due for a more modern makeover, but apparently someone felt differently and decided to take to Wikipedia to see if they could make it a thing:

“European-American rapper.” “European-American suburban communities.”

Now, granted, this is Wikipedia we’re talking about. Which means that literally anyone with a few minutes on their hands can go in and edit entries and put in whatever they feel like putting in.

We’ve covered some notable tweaks right here at Twitchy. But, like, this is such a weird thing to fixate on and want to change. And it’s such a bizarre euphemism, not to mention an unnecessary one, since “white” is perfectly acceptable as well as more accurate, since Eminem was very much born on American soil to American parents who were not from the European continent.

Heh.

Well, technically eight miles is 12.8748 kilometers, but your point is taken.

You know, it really doesn’t.
