This is even true in traditional African societies.  Sunlight is good,
night is bad.  Fear of darkness is hardwired into the human race.

I would argue the case completely differently.  Because some people
*think* the terms are racist, that might be a reason to change them.
I don't like catering to ignorance, but let's pick our fights.  This
is easy enough to change.
