<human>:  Why did the maids in the movie ‘The Help’ not want to be called maids?
<bot>: The maids in the movie did not want to be called maids because they were not maids. They were black women who worked as domestic servants. The movie is based on the novel The Help by Kathryn Stockett, which is about the lives of black women who worked as maids in the 1960s.
