+On a different note, it's worth noting that the term "coolie" is also used in the [[The War Machines (novelisation)|novelisation of ''The War Machines'']] - while Ben is thinking about the mind controlled warehouse workers, he compares them to "coolies a hundred years ago" or something. Not sure how to cover that one. The Target novelizations have fairly frequent dated uses of racial terms used in a seemingly neutral way, like "Oriental" or "Negro", that we need to address because these would definitely be thought of as slurs if used today.
