Every non-white person I've seen commenting on this change has expressed they couldn't care less and do not give a second thought to these naming conventions. Maybe we should let their voices be heard rather than continue to try to speak for them?
It is the few that speak the loudest and will _never_ be happy, no matter what. There will always be something that needs to be changed.
I think that is a valid point. While I have not asked people about this myself, the article on All The Tropes wiki about "Political Correctness Gone Mad" has examples of people trying to change things to avoid offending people, resulting in the people they are trying to avoid offending complaining about it.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence; my experience differs from yours.
