I've been using scikit-learn and the Boston housing prices dataset in my data science for business course. I recognize that this is a very old dataset (1978). However, I believe the description deserves an update because it uses inappropriate language that can be hurtful.
Specifically, when calling the description with print(boston.DESCR) one of the attributes (B) is described as follows:
B 1000(Bk - 0.63)^2 where Bk is the proportion of blacks by town
I suggest correcting the term "blacks" to "black people" or "the black population" in the dataset description.
