I agreed. Based on some of the early comments I went in expecting the article to be a little more purely "woke" but I found it to be well-written and well-researched, and it does make some interesting points.
On the whole though I think the pop-culture understanding rated as "true enough" to merit use of the phrase, and I was not convinced that the phrase is particularly hurtful to any particular group of people, partly because it is so disconnected from that and it's not really a slur or anything but more of a historical lesson or anecdote.
