"Boy" is only racist in CERTAIN CONTEXTS. It is a quite proper and acceptable word in most cases. For instances, If I were to use the phrase, "Christmas gifts appropriate for a boy", there's absolutely nothing racist about that. Methinks you are being a touch over-sensative and are attempting to drive "Political correctness" to an unnecessary level.

Context. The young boy got a puppy for his birthday (fine and not offensive). The referee called the Ravens players boy. (offensive). All about context. If the answer or the question meant it as an insult flag it.

Oh, I think it's Rolle-ing along just fine.
It works especially well when used between two persons of the same race...

Boy isn't racist. Its a gender.
