That doesn’t mean it wasn’t occurring because of your own limited experience of the word as a slur. Once it’s known hard to think it doesn’t matter for organization and it’s ability to attract girls & their families.

Last year, another organization tried very hard to have the stupidest overreaction ever to a random ugly nigger dying of COVID while a cop kneeled on his back: this time it was the Girl Guides of Canada, who removed the word "Brownie" because apparently one human being on earth heard that name and didn't only think of a bad sexual pun regarding baked goods. If you only read media coverage, Canadians were clamouring for the change and danced with joy in the streets after it happened.
In the real world, angry parents who sacrificed and volunteered for the organization (the few at least who hadn't already left in disgust after little boys in dresses were allowed to join) stormed out and refused to darken their door again. I've heard that thousands of parents and volunteers have already left, and that most troops are dangerously understaffed and in danger of closing down.
Surprise surprise, the nonwhites aren't particularly interested in being part of the organization. Like in politics or in sports, groups might not want to chase away their loyal supporters to bring in new people who won't come anyways.
So far the number of blacks and actual brownies who want to send their daughters in pursuit of Lares and Kelpie badges is completely unaffected by the name change. So until they start offering merit badges for violent assault or faking hate crimes, the number of niggers in the Girl Guides probably isn't going to be benefiting the change.
Hey, wait....
#NigGirlGuides has quite the ring to it!
They should have gone with that.
