I was thinking along the exact same lines (including being old and not with it)! The more I think about it, the more it upsets me. I would even go as far to say that it is good for children to come across a little bit of non-PC language now and then. It can be an opening for discussion about history and how norms and values have changed and what words/terminology is preferred today vs yesterday. Kids are not stupid!
