I honestly don't care about usage most of the time. I don't like when terms are used as insults. It is all in the context being used.
part of that source is what are we teaching to those that need to be educated.

I mean me personally, leave the book alone but when it comes to using that word in society, what are we doing to educate those that are on either side.

There are just as many that refuse to use the word "because it's wrong" and have no clue on the etymology of the word as the ones who do.

And even still just because it's in society, doesn't make it 'right' or 'smart'.
