Find Law's Cybernews Section reports that eBay is now cautioning sellers against using using racial slurs in their item description. A new pop-up window will will ask sellers to "take a moment to review your listing carefully and ensure that your language shows appropriate sensitivity to potential buyers and others who might view the item." "It's a small victory, but it also sends a good message that corporations have to be sensitive to communities of color," said Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the National Alliance for Positive Action, a racial and social justice group that worked with eBay to bring about the changes.
