I agree but as brown person who is a first generation immigrant and dealt with racism myself, Banning the utterance of a word used in a fairly clinical context draws attention away from actual systematic racism that exists today.
I hate to quote right wingers but this is very much virtue signaling and its dangerous for all te precedents it sets without doing anything that would actually benefit marginalized people.
