Agreed — While my initial gut reaction is jump in and express myself
directly about this change, my better angel (yes, I think I have only
one) compels me to understand (a) this forum is not the right place to
air any perspective for or against this change; (b) it’s done so get
on with it.
This is just the most recent example of similar changes at GitHub and
elsewhere that will all surely serve as examples of how society is
struggling to address issues of race…

FWIW, I also would not have made these changes, and personally think
they do more harm than good. That said, the best thing at this point,
now that they've been made, is to just ignore them and move on.
People are free to choose to shape their language as they fit, so long
as they're not requiring me to do the same. So long we all graciously
accept our various manners of speach, all's well.
