It is ignorant because the concern stems from ignorance of the fact that many languages that are used by billions of people in the world treat the aspirated and non-aspirated versions of consonants as completely different consonants.

Well said. If I can add a final point, it's that it is nonsensical and inappropriate to judge how a word sounds in one language based on how it sounds in one which is only very distantly related (PIE at best).
