I'm about to put on my pedantic pants, so get ready. Language evolves over time. The phrase "drink the Koolaid" is now embedded as a phrase that has an immediately recognizable meaning. Yes it is derogatory, but not in a bigoted way (unlike the N word or the C word). Language is as language does. "Drink the Koolaid" is a useful phrase that encapsulates a complex idea. End of pedantry.
