Interrupting cultural oppression is possible and it takes all kinds of human intervention, including our own choices in what we say and don't say. You may have experiences of becoming more aware of cruelty in your own vocabulary, and with self-compassion you may have worked to make changes. What changes have you successfully made in the words you use? What are you still working on changing?
