Of course not. That's what you're doing. You're telling us that our current dictionaries are all wrong because a dictionary from 29 years ago says something different.
It was never racist until people all of a sudden decided to be offended by it when the term isn't actually racist.
They see the word "skin" and it is preceded by "red" and they decided that is offensive because we are talking about skin color. And as we all know... talking about skin color is racist.
In short, the word was never racist in the past, and isn't racist now. It's not a slur of any kind. Some people just decided it's a mean word because it has to do with skin color.
