To be honest, I&#x27;m not entirely sure if every use of language that can somehow be etymologically linked to a questionable cultural norm is worth expunging. Human languages are such that many expressions mutate to points where they entirely shake off original meanings. For instance, in some Slavic languages to this day it is perfectly normal and mundane to refer to Germans and the German language as &quot;nemci,&quot; which literally means &quot;mute people&quot;. It might have been intended derogatorily, but after centuries of use it has become neutered and most people don&#x27;t even realize the etymology, nor do they say the word with any negative intent.<p>To tilt too much in the other direction is to preemptively assume the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis as an objective reality, when it is nowhere near that strong.
