Is this racist or condescending?

Question

I have written a magazine article for school. It's about the Indigenous contribution to Australia's war history. I have titled it 'Black Magic' because Australia's first Aboriginal fighter pilot named his aircraft 'Black Magic'.

Is that title appropriate?

Answer 1

No.  

Would you ask the same question if the title were "White Magic?"  Probably not.  There's nothing racist or condescending about the color of one's skin - only our views.  

But you have a right to be a little scared with everybody screaming "foul" at nothing at all these days.  I'm sure it's a well written article.  Good luck.

Answer 2

It's fine as long as you made some sort of reference to the aircraft.  

Answer 3

no its not ... but considering they call us white maggots, why not.

Answer 4

no, its not inappropriate, but i bet someone finds a way to take offense.

Answer 5

Since it is the guys name, I do not find it inappropriate at all.
