And old phrase, but still true. The left is about symbolism over substance. It's why crippled became disabled and became differently abled. It's why "colored person" became "black person", became African American person and finally became "person of color", going full circle, but also incorporating all "non-white" races.
But at the end of the day, the perception is the same. The new word(s) just means the same thing as the old words and carries the same cultural connotations.
Instead of messing with labels, one should address real problems and solutions. Ask the black family behind the Aunt Jemima brand how they feel about the change.
