Talk:Blackamoor

Necessity?
One of three pages I want to tackle here. On the balance of the informational value vs. indecency, I would say that these two instances are better off moved to the racism page as examples rather than having their own page and this page removed entirely. I must admit that this page has evidently slipped me by when we had the discussion on slurs before, as otherwise I would've highlighted it too. Though archaic, it is still a particularly strong term that leans towards the heights of the n-word in terms of offence for black people - particularly as like that word, it seems to have had a strong attachment to slavery.
