Off Color

 The test subject was thrown far across space, ending up on the planet of another race.


They cared for their new arrival and eventually translated the new being's language.


When the guest was dying, they told their new home to create a statue of them, their skin colored as them. And, if any of their race, upon seeing the statue, referred to their likeness by a specfic term, to destroy them.


Generations later, a exploration group landed and was led to the statue.


Much unpleasantness could have been avoided if the guest had considered that racist terminology changed over time.
