The history of humanity should teach us that any labels that have anything to do with society or personal ideals need to be consistently adaptable.
So to the question: do the old labels still apply?
The answer is yes, but.
The but, is that if you think they don't it is your responsibility to update your definition. Why people are surprised that the ideas of a constantly evolving race (with numerous different evolving societies that grow more and more intertwined as time goes on) change, is bizarre to me.
Ideas are no less prone to evolution than humans themselves. Moreso, in fact.
