No.  Perhaps the Uhuru's would be better off resigning from their jobs and devoting their time to writing a book of seemingly innocuous words that could possibly, remotely be construed as racist so that we have something to reference and research before we ever open our mouths.

To be honest... in my opinion... oftentimes the most racist or demeaning word in the English language is "them".  But like hoodlum, it all depends on the intent behind the word.
