Perhaps it was brought up, and not deemed relevant?
"come[s] to mind" != "triggered"
Suggesting a team should alter its "demographic" ("diversity" hiring) for the sake of such a weak association is extreme.

Hm, making the name of a brand you intend to market worldwide something deeply offensive to a huge swath of the world is a pretty poor decision.
I'm not saying their hiring "should" be altered, but I do think were it more inclusive, this would have never flown. Maybe that speaks to the value a diverse team brings to an organization.
That this wasn't brought up during the naming process paints a pretty clear picture of the team's demographic makeup.
