Is there a tipping point percentage we should observe? If only 5% of those with that ancestry are offended but the rest are indifferent or proud of the name, do we change it?

I can't give you a percentage, but, I can say that if you start seeing protests outside the stadium, and the protestors are from that ethnic group, it's time to consider a new name.  If they care enough to spend their afternoon protesting, and they were actually born into that group, you should probably consider their opinion.  I'm maybe 1/4 swedish and 0% irish.  No native american ancestry.  My opinion doesn't count here.  But yours might.
