I’m surprised someone hasn’t demanded the dog breed, Rhodesian Ridgeback, be forced to have a name change.

That will happen. The AKC has been renaming dog breeds for years, usually by adopting a name taken from the native language where the breed was allegedly developed. i.e. Russian Wolfhound became ‘Borzoi’. Therefore, the Rhodesian Ridgeback will get a new exotic sounding name from a south African regional dialect.
