At one point not that long ago "Negro" was a perfectly acceptable way of describing an African-American. However, if there was a team called the Brooklyn Negroes I don't think it would go over too well.

Society changes and with it what is considered acceptable changes. It's not a matter of simply being politically correct. That's a shallow white-wash (if you'll pardon the pun) of the issue.
