使用する際の注意点

• Outside of zoology, compound terms involving -blooded frequently carry connotations of instinct or purity, and are usually interpreted as value judgments about a person. Some uses are benign and in common use (e.g. hot-blooded), but those relating to ancestry may carry derogatory connotations due to being associated with eugenics, scientific racism or white nationalism.
