New offensive words

I found this article interesting. A leading group of anthropologists are claiming words such as "stone age" and "primitive" as offensive to tribal and indigenous people. What really jumped out to me was that there are 150 million tribal people in the world.
Its crazy to think that there are so many people who aren't apart of the "society" that we are all apart of. The big flaw with this article is that the words used do not directly affect the people because of the obvious language difference, and the ambiguity of the words.
Interesting article, I don't know if it pertains to anything specific in class - but its amazing to think of the large amount of people who live in ways we view to be "ancient". I wonder if those numbers will decrease with time.
