The current category name is wildly inaccurate, as a significant number of entries (about half) in both languages don't contain or otherwise allude to any racial epithets. This change would also apply to the parent category, Category:Racist names for places. Binarystep (talk) 23:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

- Support Some are not even about a country, rather than ethnic groups within countries or what a country might become or has cryptically become. Thus they are not necessarily toponyms. They are all derogatory of something, usually of an ethnic group. DCDuring (talk) 22:43, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support although I'd prefer to nuke this category entirely. Benwing2 (talk) 08:20, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support as a more accurate description of the category. — excarnateSojourner (ta·co) 04:52, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
