The point is that the word for this dish has existed for a long time, and was stolen, only to be used in a derogatory and highly offensive way. It's not a brand name that can simply be renamed (although "Mr Brains" doesn't help much either IMO). It would be like banning/changing the name "Sissy" because of its pejorative use, although I know it's not common now for obvious reasons.
Each to their own of course...
