The argument is that we don't use Dahl's books as cautionary tales. They're entertainment. The concern is that kids may instinctively pick up some harmful stereotypes from that.
Personally, I don't like it and I think we are so obsessed with sanitizing the language mostly because it's easy. You can search-and-replace all "blacklists" in the codebase and pat yourself on the back and feel like a good ally. Fixing real issues is a lot less convenient, and it's a lot harder to agree on the approach.
