We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

From wikipedia:
As recently as 1979, the phrase was used in mainstream media publications,[6] but in the 1997 book The Color of Words: An Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Ethnic Bias in the United States, writer and editor Philip H. Herbst says that although the phrase is often used innocently by children, it may be interpreted as offensive,[7] and The Copyeditor's Handbook (1999) describes it as objectionable.[8]
