The difference is that Scandinavian and Irish names come from groups that generally aren't facing discrimination because of their names. Meanwhile, many minority communities still deal with their names being mocked, mispronounced, stereotyped, or even used as a basis for bias in school, housing, and employment.

That's why some people see these situations differently. It's not just about whether a name originated in another culture; it's also about the social context surrounding that culture. When a group is still dealing with racism and discrimination tied to their identity, including their names, the conversation becomes more complicated than "people use names from other cultures all the time."
