Language does certainly change to reflect society.
I moved to London in the early 90’s and said the word “coloured” in a discussion.
I didn’t know any better and thought it more polite at the time than the term “black”.
I was blasted by a black lady for using that word and haven’t used it since.
Although “person of colour” seems acceptable now.
