No. There is a finite amount of time and energy (physical, emotional, and other) that an individual, and by proxy a group, can dedicate to a given cause. Wasting those resources on token gestures like this means there is _less_ energy to go towards actions that will cause meaningful change. "Changing words because feels" is social self-gratification, and does nothing to address the actual societal ills.
If you want to see meaningful change, disregard this terminology frippery and call/write/email/whatever your local rep to support the tri-partisan bill revoking qualified immunity. I promise, you will see vastly more improvement in society if this bill goes through, than if we spin our wheels wondering if "foobar" is going to be the next doublePlusUngood(tm) term d'art of the week.
