‘Coon’ is most definitely a racial slur in Australia - it may have come from the US, but it was adopted here as a slur a long time ago.
That said, renaming the cheese is ridiculous because the name was not a racial slur in this case - it was a man’s surname.

Thanks. Heck, we have a Senator named Coons. Sit's in Joe Biden's former seat. He's not changing his name.
Is it referred to African blacks, or for aboriginals as well?
