Identify any unnecessary and potentially offensive references to gender, race, or other features in the following passage and, as necessary, rewrite the passage in neutral language.General Colin Powell was the first black army officer to have achieved the chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
What will be an ideal response?
General Colin Powell was the first black army officer to become the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. (This is a bit tricky, of course; you may think the reference to Powell's being black is what's objectionable in the original. But that reference is crucial to the meaning of the claim; "chairmanship" is neither necessary nor acceptable where "chair" will do.)
