I'm not sure he's right though.
Given Rowling's position I don't think she feels a need to prove anything to anyone. Especially about being "up-to-date" and "politically correct".
This remark sounded more like something she'd said just to see how public would react. Or perhaps to intentionally annoy certain people (religious zaelots and such). I just can't imagine JKR sitting at home, bitting her fingernails and thinking "Damn, I am not politically correct enough .. I should really do something about it".
