“Ok Google” Only Giving Progressive Words

I have noticed today that if you query Google Assistant (OK Google) "Give me a random word." or "Teach me a new word." the result is invariably a progressive word. Examples are in order of what it gave me, "Prejudice" "Anti-racism" "Equality" "Prejudice" "Bigotry" "Belonging" "Microaggression" "Oppression" and so on in the same vein.

This is a very odd way to show support for the BLM movement. I used this feature to improve my lexicon, however this feature is now useless. It has a very simple and small (seems like <20 entries) diction.

I have seen no mention of this feature change on the Google dev blog or Google Assistant product updates. Is this the same for everyone? Was this mentioned elsewhere?
