I saw towels there also tagged as "Manatee Grey." I don't think its meant to be offensive.

The problem lies in the fact that an identical dress in non-plus sizes is named "heather grey".

Anyone else thinking of that brown couch that was sold as "<racial slur>-brown"? (just google "Racist Sofa Label" and you'll find it).
