  • In English, "everyday sayings that have been quietly dropped in a bid to stamp out racism and sexism are 'whiter than white', 'gentleman’s agreement', 'black mark' and 'right-hand man' — A Black Day for the English Language.


  • In Korean, where the concept is new, only one term has drawn ire — Use of Term 'Flesh Tone' Opposed. It is reported that even the term "'nude...' could give people the wrong impression that all people have the same skin color."
