Seems it wasn't an issue until these two guys were attrited. It seems the Navy is quickly catching up to the PC-culture of the USAF. Something like this used happen in the Navy 5-7 years after the AF. Now, it happens in less than a year.
Last year, the AF shit-canned the Wing Commander, a squadron commander, DO, and and one other leader at Laughlin, following a naming. A callsign was offered up for one of the women that wasn't received well by someone in attendance. To her credit, she didn't really care... the person that elevated it was a guy.
The fact they were doing namings with student pilots is just plain stupid. And having a senior leader in the room to witness it is also exceedingly stupid.
I don't recall the details from the media... here's an article on it.

I know plenty of people of Latino, Caucasian, and Asian decent that have callsigns that point to their ethnicity. They seem proud of it. Too bad these two guys couldn't enjoy the banter that binds a ready room.
