I recall reading about a year ago that some group was suing NASA and other such organizations to change the term “black hole” because they found it offensive. So I’m not surprised this hole took it as an insult as he hopes for instead of as it was intended.

I hadn't heard that one. But I remember several years ago there was a move by the usual suspects to get computer makers to rename the "slave drive".
