I did some minor research recently, I like to make sure things I say are correct. I was mentioning Moa and stating how his labelling of red and black is the same as the establishment labels today of gay/trans/right etc.
I found a Wikipedia article on the 5 black (bad) categories. I normally avoid Wikipedia because they can be biased and will often inject some level of propaganda and this will often make the information incorrect. I thought the historical stuff was safe from this, apparently it is not.
On the article in question I noticed modern wording. It had a link for this modern working and I clicked it to find a modern explanation of the modern word and nothing to do within the context of Mao.
Not wanting to assume I checked a few other sites to find Wikipedia seem to have changed the word. I am sure this was no accident.
