BTW, I know of at least two derogatory terms concerning my nation: "Polak" (which is exactly what a Polish man is called in Polish) is considered rude in the US, and "polnische Wirtchaft" is very derogatory in German. I have to admit that I am not extremely happy because of these terms, but it's not a real problem for me.
It's definitely good to know that when choosing names one should be careful. I just hope that none of the language related tags in context is problematic. (Years ago there was a really nasty discussion on the xetex list about naming languages in some latex package .. sort of got out of hands.)
