Correct.  We have discussed this many times on this list and on LTRU.

Considering that "Aukan" or "Busi Nenge Tongo," or whatever we elect to 
call it, is a separate language from English, I think we would be 
well-advised not to try to apply our English-based assumptions about 
what terms are and are not taboo or offensive.  I think we can safely 
rely on Pascal Vaillant to inform us about any names that CELIA may have 
identified as offensive.  If any new information turns up later, 
comments and descriptions can be changed.
