Welll he is wrong in the sense that it won't change, because things are already changing for the better
But he isn't wrong in the sense that change has been very slow due to Americans in general not finding this stuff offensive. Poll numbers from a decade ago really do show the lack that Americans, even Indians, cared about changing the term Redskins which is PROBABLY the most offensive example out there. Obviously it has changed since then but it shows us why change has been so slow
