Ethnophobia 

Fear or dislike of bringing about or even talking or studying stuff that relates to ethnicity or people's color and or ethnic origin.
It s horrific to distort history and the Arts alike. The truth will come out some day. I am hundred percent sure that removing the N-word from a great masterpiece Like Twain‘s "Huck Finn" is not only offensive to American Artists and worldwide Artists, but it is also offensive to blacks in America and , may be, somewhere else. Sending a whole era of blacks' enslavement to the rubbles of history is throwing dusts in people's eyes and acting as if that doomed era never existed. On top of that it is disgraceful to the author himself, who used that word for textual and contextual reasons. I think the publisher should reconsider the horrible mistake , which reflects on a problem of ethnophobia that publisher has, but not the American people or the people of the rest of the World.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
