Yeah. Barbarian is fine in some cases, but not in other. I would not call a POC "barbarian" or "uncivilized" given that big chunks of the history of racism have been about declaring non-white peoples as....uncivilized and barbaric, and thus not fully human and in need of conquering.

One that I took off her original list was "savage" for that reason-- in my own head I have racist associations with that word, and I just would not use it as an insult!
