Voices against this idea are pretty loud. But nobody is giving a real argument. I don't see anything other than "oh it doesn't solve world Racism or Sexism problems" or, "I never thought about slavery when I use my git branch". I think they just miss the point. I don't see any reason to not fix this. There are studies that claim language does transmit values and cultural norms. So it isn't only about someone being hurt or reminded of something when (s)he sees a word. These issue is so big that no single action or change is going to fix it. It requires commitment and lots of small and big changes. And yes a lot of companies aren't going to do anything more than tiny changes while portending that they support the cause. It doesn't mean that others should stop.
