<upd_detl>I don't think something this old can be sens. But it probably shouldn't be tagged as derog either. It was an official term; the kanji made it derogatory.
I don't think the x-refs are needed.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It certainly is sensitive because the descendants of the eta live on. It's not disconnected from the present. 
No IME will bring up 穢多 for the input えた.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I guess that in an "abundance of caution" the tag can go back. Yes, it's really the nasty 穢多 ateji that's a problem. I see my Google keyboard offers it as a choice for えた.</upd_detl>
