There’s a revolving door of language where people who should have better things to do insist that terms referring to sensitive groups be renamed every few decades because the old term became immoral.

Occasionally there’s good reason for it but usually it’s a strong signal that the people talking about it have a weak sense of solving the problem and a strong one of projecting the image of solving it.
