 I'm sure some people do find the term offensive, and you can no doubt find impeccable refererences to back this up. However, there'll be few, if any, references for people not finding it offensive, unless of course Oxford have got around to publishing their Dictionary of Terms that People Don't Find Offensive (and if they have, I expect British Isles to be on the front page). The point is, offensive or not, referenced or not, the issue should not be over-egged here. A single mention, with direction to the naming dispute article is all that's required.
