You're really focusing on the idea its a joke about his name and that makes it racist. That's not what is being implied in the film.

Instead, realize its a joke about not being in the boys club because he's not like the leadership, he's different and yeah he has a silly name so fuck 'em.

He wasn't being fired for his name. Because he was being fired no one cared about his name. That's the joke.
