concede that this is probably fair enough...

It's true enough that times and mores change and we adjust accordingly; one just wonders how far your story is from this story. Not very far at all, I'd suggest. A slippery slope?

I might argue that words are not offensive in isolation, they only become offensive when used offensively; furthermore these place names, whilst existing in the modern day, also have a clear historical context and tell us something of the mores of the settlers who named them, just as the book tells us of the mores of the US south in the 30s.
I might argue that, but I probably can't be ársed.
