Politically correctly

When Ed Roberts, Professor Emeritus of Central Michigan University, reviewed an early draft of my Learning French Words, he suggested I remove the wording to the effect that noir ("black") is related to negro and niger. I happily accepted; it's not very helpful to the learners anyway, due to too big a difference in sound (unless you're trained in historical linguistics). An early draft of the same book about the word
tromper to deceive, to cheat; (reflexive) to be wrong.
explicitly mentions the current president. I later removed that verbage, and added "To balance that joke, though, also learn the less common word berner, which has the same meaning." After all, getting involved in politics is neither my interest nor helping anyone in any way. But if something piques the reader's interest which may help him remember the word, I won't hesitate to include it as a joke.
