Changing history to suit current social-political climate is a slippery slope.
To be clear, I have no particular like of that name, but it was what it was and as such should remain as it was.
Nobody is changing history. It's a physical artefact and therefore archaeology. In this case an object, the history of which is pretty well known.
My opinion on this is that all the people I know personally who get hot under the collar about this issue seem to embrace complaining so as not to lose their sole opportunity to use the word.
