Plants were introduced to commerce over time. Often the names they were given are now considered offensive, but at the time they were introduced, the names were acceptable.
For example there are two roses named 'Black Boy'. One was introduced in 1918 and the other one was introduced in 1958. Another rose named 'Nigger Boy' was introduced in 1931
No one would even think of introducing a rose by those names today.
I think most gardeners understand this concept and would not take offense to the usage of the name that is considered to be offensive in current times in a database.
