Conversely, language that makes reference to gender seems to frowned upon to greater extent than in the UK.

Same goes for painting your face black for fancy dress and what not ..... or colonialist era branding similar to the "golly-wog" character.

Different cultures differing attitudes , perhaps we are ahead of a few other countries in our approach to the sensitivity of images and language these days .
