I’m not going to stop using or talking about Jordan algebras, say, even though Pascual Jordan was a literal Nazi and a significant participant in the destruction of the centuries-old German mathematics and fundamental physics community (and the respective refugee-fueled rise of the American one). It bears mentioning, certainly, and subtracts from the scientific merit (among other things) of the person, but has nothing to do with the scientific merit of the notion.
