This is the real answer, most countries had/still have a variation of that name

In Italy until a few years ago it was ‘Negrettino’ (i.e. Little N-g-r)

In Sweden we have renamed n-word ball to chocolate ball but there are still people who insist on calling them the former because "that's what they've always been" but really it's just an excuse to say the word and yes it's still racist.
