I think there's danger of a rebound, or at least, in time the pendulum will swing the other way.
Like when we gave up Victorian furniture leg covers in favour, eventually, of the miniskirt, and less...
Did I say danger - I will be able to relax and use the colours of the rainbow I was taught at school, without fear of arrest or ridicule by someone with an 'authorised correctness' sheriffs star. Roll on.
Most minority groups, when asked, are fed up with do-gooders presuming to act on their behalf anyway.

The local rehoming kennels informed me that on the animal care courses these days it is no longer acceptable to say black or yellow labradors - it should be a dark coloured or a light coloured labrador.
Hmmm - the world has gone barking mad!!!
