A friend of my mams went into a child shop as she wanted a "black doll" so she asked for a "black doll" and the women behind the counter got all snotty and said "dont you mean an "ethnic doll". An ethnic doll going from the definition of ethnic could be any colour and imo she asked for the right thing. The problem people have these days is they dont know what to say as every term is deemed racist or could be taken out of context.
