Rejected petition Removal of the word Negrophobia

More details

I would like the word Negrobia to be removed from English text books such as the Oxford dictionary and many others. As a human race we have come so far, This word is disgusting and sets us as a human race back instead of moving forward. Negrophobia, is derogatory Melanophobia is more appropriate as it as generalised as leukophobia the fear of the color white.
I hope we make a change for the better
