NASA has opted to move away from offensive (so-called) nick names. The nick name Black Holes is both offensive in the racist sense and alternatively sexist since the inference is female genitalia if not homophobic, given Uranus is also often suggestive of a dark taboo.
Hence Black Holes are now referred to as “Chromatically challenged highly approachable high energy quantum rich aggregations of deconstructed atomic particles“! (The term “prodigiously matter eating” was not entertained to avoid accusations of “fat shaming”.)
The nick name White Dwarfs is also problematic, both from the racist angle and also since that term is reminiscent of the policy of Apart Height practised by South Africa up until the 1980s. NASA might therefore need help in the renaming of White Dwarfs. Please send your suggestions to the main NASA website.
