Well the N word can have different meanings too and the world did change to try and eliminate that word from popular vocabulary. The swastika synbol (and the word) is almost universally frowned upon due to its Nazi links despite the fact that its original meaning is entirely something else to about 1/6th of the world's population. So the idea of trying to eliminate a word or idea from popular vocabulary is not exactly new, we humans do it all the time. Siddhesh
