> Grandfather: This term has its roots in the "grandfather clause" adopted by Southern states to deny voting rights to Blacks.

> Red team: "Red" is often used disparagingly to refer to Indigenous peoples, so its use in this context could be offensive to some groups.

> Blackbox: Assigns negative connotations to the color black, racializing the term.

> Brave (do not use): This term perpetuates the stereotype of the "noble courageous savage," equating the Indigenous male as being less than a man.

This is the pseudo-intellectual equivalent banning any word that contains "ass" because "ass" is a bad word.

Anyone involved in the production of this document should be embarrassed and ashamed.
