This is a tired topic that comes up every offseason and every offseason the name stays. Some people find it offensive, some don't. It doesn't change the fact that it isn't going anywhere.
I like what Thomas Paine has to say about this type of thinking. It's absolutely one of my favorite quotes and coincidentally is found in an essay titled Common Sense.

Things change and as time goes by and demographics change. If it happens every offseason and does not go away that should tell you something.
