Interesting and I looked this up in the Oxford Dictionary and found the following two meanings -
1(of a disease or condition) regularly found among particular people or in a certain area:
complacency is endemic in industry today
[attributive] (of an area) in which a particular disease is regularly found:
the persistence of infection on pastures in endemic areas
2(of a plant or animal) native or restricted to a certain place:
a marsupial endemic to north-eastern Australia
Clearly, 'endemic' in the current sense relates to definition 1 (a condition) rather than definition 2 (a plant or animal). I still think that there is no issue in English in the title. The title may have been a bit more euphemistic but I think it conveys the correct issue.
