I actually look at it in the opposite way. There actually are modern English purists. We sometimes call them grammar nazis. Its not usually the result of some overtly oppressive ideology. They just mistakenly believe that there is a "correct" way to speak English. However, the net result of it is the stigmatization of people from poor communities.
This project very clearly shows how silly English purity is in a clever way: that the "correct" English of day may very well have been considered "incorrect" by the purists of yesteryear. Language evolves.
