While it is understandable that they may want to keep things as "is" (indeed, censorship by its very nature brings about these issues) the instance in question seems ridiculous.
Racial coding is common. A slightly irreverent look at it ("Everybody's a Little Bit Racist" - Avenue Q) even brings out some rather heated responses.
However, while I think being overly PC can be negative because no issues are ever brought up -- when the issues are discussed it seems beyond stupid to simply ignore the definitive quality of the words.
