I think it's just organisations are proactively trying to consider these things and occasionally missing the mark, or even just getting too much attention for what they assume are just cautious steps.
There now seems to be an attempt to put some of the more frivolous issues front and centre as opposed to issues such as if they are inequalities in the justice system, if there is systematic racism in society and has Britain confronted the issue of it's past sufficiently. You could argue that song might fall under the last bracket but really it's not something people have paid attention too. Instead, they've been focusing on more obvious examples such as the Rhodes statue.
Outside of Twitter has anyone seen any real campaign to change Uncle Ben's rice or Swing Low, Sweet Chariot? It's manufactured outrage. People want silly examples to get outraged about rather than serious ones.
