If it's a regular book (as opposed to a textbook) I think that the original wording should stand. If nothing else, it will sound kind of odd for the rest of the book to be in 1950ese and then inserting verbiage from the last half of the 20th century in there. In other words, trying to be "up to date" or "politically correct" will compromise the overall effectiveness of the piece if it's the only thing that's updated.
Don't get me started on Judy Blume pulling this isht in the latest printings of her books.
