Why would the BBC do this?

I noticed tonight that "American High School: Straight Outta Orangeburg" which I watched a couple of years ago is being rerun on the BBC, only they've renamed it "Segregated America: A School in the South".

If you've not watched it I can recommend it, the series is about students at a majority black highschool in a poor area of the US but it baffles me why they would rebrand it to something so divisive in the current climate. The BBC would be the first to attack Trump for 'divisive' comments and yet all this renaming really achieves is creating division.
 
They have a documentary on the KKK on tonight, yeah the BBC definitely aren't trying to stoke racial tensions or anything....
