As mentioned I am not opposed if others want to do the work.

All the work - because renaming things often has subtle unwanted effects.

Not yet ;-)

Don't get me wrong - I'm all in favor of being respectful and cautious
etc...but also aware that in a multi-cultural context such as ours
there's a zillion angles from which to look at these things, which
IMHO means we have to accept suboptimal wording in places. As well as
be ready to accept that when we move between cultures, we are bound to
be surprised and sometimes even offended by things which are perfectly
ok "there".
