It's not because something may have a bad connotation than an entire "community" should change.

That really depends on the community. Does the community value including diverse folks, from diverse backgrounds? Does the community want to welcome those folks, and allow them to feel at ease? If it does, then the onus is most certainly on the community to change.

Moreover, I'm confused by the need to clarify that the change, if made in relation to it's connotation, would be unreasonable?

Is it not the same, reasonably insignificant change, regardless of the motivation?
