Default "Black hole" a racist term?

MyFox Dallas | 'Black Hole' Comment Ignites Controversy

And it gets worse. Price is not only defending his black hole/white hole protest, he’s gone further and proclaimed “angel’s food cake” and “devil’s food cake” racist terms, too. Oh, and “black sheep” is out as well.
Seriously.
This is what the culture of victimhood and racial hypersensitivity has wrought.
Michelle Malkin “Black hole” brouhaha, continued: Official says “devil’s food cake” is racist, too!

Now this is really getting strange...I mean, how far are we going to go to become "politically correct"? Cartoons we grew up with are censored or edited to avoid offending anyone and now perhaps we have to go after astronomy terms as well? Can't wait to see some organization of American Indian midgets sue NASA over the term "Red Dwarfs".
