I remember Gordon Ramsey, who has probably forgotten more about Asian cuisine that this 'influencer' would ever know, being asked what he thought the ultimate food is.
"Curry." was his instant response.
I am sure he knows every single variant of curry that there is, and how to cook it to perfection, but using a generic term to convey something to a listening audience is simply how we communicate.

Lets not forget many Curry houses are run by people of Indian, Bangladeshi or pakistani decent, they are in essence English. I have known many of them and they all use the term 'Curry' and many do use the term 'curry' in their name. e.g. the many 'Curry Kitchens' for a start.

The day some chippy cook gets a say on which words do or do not stay in usage will be a day when societyhas finally lost itself in a welter of pointless self-importance.

Of course they do - but you can hardly stand those two up as comparable examples - one is a universally derided label of oppression, and the other signalled a change where women decided not to be defined by their marital status.
That hardly stands up next to a common label for a food type, does it.
