Freedom of speech is long gone, it only applies if you're saying what the left want to hear and your rambling comparisons with gay rights etc is nonsense.
The fact that you don't like people questioning the changes, says all I need to know, people like you, seek to close down any discussion with outlandish claims of racism and of people being 'enraged'. The fact is that this is all being driven by a small group of academics and other, like minded professionals but in reality (that's where I live btw), ordinary birders and others, who may not have the balls to say it here, are fed up with it all and think it's nonsense.
Who exactly, is being offended by these names? I'll tell you, it's this small group in America who are taking it upon themselves to be 'offended' on behalf of other ethnic groups of whom they probably had never heard, until they started dissectiong the various lists.
There's no discussion to be had here because most constributors in this section, are from the same or similar background. Such lack of diversity leads to a total absence of meaningful, discussion so I'm taking a sabatical for the new year and you can all sit here, happily agreeing with each other without any dissenting voices which it seems, is just the way you like it.
