    Wasn't sure of the appropriate thread for this, but the organisation that coins new terms for the Irish language has introduced duine de dhath for "person of colour". As the article says, the term duine gorm for a black person was never considered offensive, but describing someone as "blue" didn't made much sense, and arose in a time when the possibility of local black people learning the language hadn't been considered.
