It's not political correctness -- it's recognition that
the world is more complex than previous usage allowed
convenient descriptions of, that another word was needed,
and that a convenient nearby word would serve double-duty
pretty unconfusingly.
Think of it as an "overloaded operator" in C++.
In other words, normal language evolution motivated by a
need to be able to describe concepts, not a reworking for
a political/social agenda.
