It’s fundamentally untrue that the term is used differently here in the UK and this has been addressed repeatedly. It’s important that you say that in your book. Almost all use of the term is misuse because of its history, innacuracy and inherent racism

The problem comes from those who were made aware of the problems with the terminology and refused to have a dialogue with Dr MRO over it, resorting instead to attacking her, her abilities and work as a historian, and ad hom attacks that continue to this day.

Likewise, I have pieces of work I am currently editing that use the term frequently, and I have had to update them to be more accurate. Being informed of the term's racism did not make me a victim of bullying, it made me a better scholar and I'm grateful
