I'm still not even sure what the term means..

Customizing appearance, the apparent racist origin of the term is no longer relevant as very few would even know it and even fewer would use it in a racist context

I'm not about to start screaming that xyz is racist, but I would argue that just because very few would know or recognize that something has racist origins that doesn't (in my opinion) make it okay to use. I would hope that people could come up with another term to use that conveys the same message.

I would rather words evolve and lose connotations
