refugee, IDP, evacuee

[Margaret Lee]

Count me as the other "token" on the list. I totally agree with your thinking on "insurgent/insurgency."

person of color, African-American, or whatever other lame-assed term is
currently in use, I personally do not find any of these terms
objectionable in any way whatsoever, with the sole exception of
"insurgent," which I find appallingly insulting and racist, implying,
as it does, that the black population of New Orleans is, for no reason
whatsoever, in armed rebellion against the government of the United
States, which is only trying to help.
