Picture of the day

A reproductive cone of Encephalartos sclavoi, a cycad tree native to Africa. Some species of the genus Encephalartos are known as "bread trees" because a bread-like starchy food can be prepared from the centre of the stem. Male cones are elongated, and three or four may appear at a time. Female cones are borne singly, or up to three at a time, and may weigh up to 60 lb (27 kg). All the species of Encephalartos are endangered.Photo: Muhammad Mahdi Karim

Removal of archaic/racist terminology from "commonly used" list at beginning of article?

The reference for citation #3 (on "kaffir bread") itself says that it is obsolete and offensive.

https://www.dsae.co.za/entry/kaffir/e03579

Why is this included? It was added quite recently. If this term is still used, it should NOT be listed at the beginning as a 'common usage' but mentioned lower down in its own Controversy section that links to the main wikipage on the racial slur in question.
