I quote myself from a blog post called "color me critical":
Flesh ... Name voluntarily changed to "peach" in 1962, partially as a result of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.Does this imply that the other name changes were involuntary?
Indian Red is renamed Chestnut in 1999 in response to educators who felt some children wrongly perceived the crayon color was intended to represent the skin color of Native Americans. The name originated from a reddish-brown pigment found near India commonly used in fine artist oil paint.This one reminds me of the North Carolina teacher who was reprimanded a few years ago for using the word 'niggardly' in class.

Why is it that idiots seem irresistably drawn to careers in public education?
I believe, on another occasion, a journalist used the word "niggardly" in print and was consequently asked to resign from his paper.
