To be clear, I don't think the nomenclature is the sole driver of social stigma, just a contributor.
As an analogy, I doubt anybody thinks the social stigma around trisomy-21 is solely attributable to previous politically incorrect terminology but continued use of those former terms doesn't help alleviate that stigma.
