If by wider community you mean the majority, I would beg to differ. I'd be fascinated to see some sort of "head count". Apart from this forum/thread, every time I have heard this type of topic (ie name changes) discussed amongst the varying groups of people I associate and interact with both at work and socially, the overwhelming majority I have witnessed first hand have the "what a crock of crap" or "who gives a fork" attitude. Do I need to choose my friends, family and work colleagues more carefully?

+1 with the following added it being a sign of the times we live in.  Cancel culture is currently trendy and this was an easy one to get across the line because even the staunchest of defenders for coon cheese couldn't argue a case for keeping that name.

Change of topic, I must be getting old but the mere sight and/or sound of the following people just grinds my gears. Top 5 in no particular order:
1. Kevin Sheedy
2. Grace Tame
3. Greta Thunberg
4. Donald Trump
5. Waleed Aly (or anyone from The Project)
Is it just me?

Not just you.  All of them come across as incredibly hypocritical in some ways.  All of them have different ick factors.
