Western anthropology still used racialized language about Africans as late as 1960.

Evidence

I first met a number of Western scholars at Oxford University in 1960. During the very first lecture in the Institute of Social Anthropology, the teacher kept referring to Africans or non-Western peoples as barbarians, savages, primitives, tribes, etc. I protested; but to no avail. All the professors and lecturers in the institute, and those who came from outside to read papers, spoke the same insulting language. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 72
