      My friend almost killed herself because she had endo and the doctors wouldn’t give her a hysterectomy.

      After her third attempt they decided to take her seriously and took that shit out

      She lives pain-free now.

          Just so you know, the phrase you’re thinking of as historic and racist is “colored people”. People of Color is a more modern example of people-first language that has been broadly accepted as politically correct. Admittedly, at face value it seems like a very minor difference, but the historical context of a slur is 90% of the problem a lot of the time, so here we are.
