tldr
the 'cat' subtype is being removed from Rakshasa creatures (?)
"Umbra armor" will replace "totem armor" as a keyword ability (totem is offensive i guess?)
"Kindred" will replace "tribal" as a card type. (saw this one coming a mile away, tribal is now an offensive term i guess)
"Snake" will replace "Naga" as a subtype. (naga is offensive? naga please)

This is actually something players wanted originally because there was no support for Naga tribal as a new creature type, but there's pre-existing support for Snakes.
Though this should also motivate them to keep the Cat subtype on Rakshasa, I don't know why they'd remove that.
This is old. Or at least it's been known that "tribal" was now considered problematic, though it's the first time they've shown the replacement.
This is new, but it's sorta odd. There are still all sorts of cultural references in the game and I've never seen the usage of "totems" as being problematic. But I'm sure there's a couple people at Wizards whose employment depends on continuing to drive these changes into progressively (heh) sillier territory.
