I proposed a rename as per wikipedias categorization scheme, we add "people" to any ethnicity. There appears to be a number of panic "oppose" votes. What do you think?
I don't see any panicking going on. People are just opposing, generally with valid reasons.
Did you read the comments?
"...Also without assuming bad faith I have to ask why people would be so concerned with moving this category..- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg" "Strong Oppose per IZAK, frankly I'm shocked that this is even up for discussion. ... -- Chabuk" "Oppose. ...

Frankly I'm shocked that these kinds of personal attacks towards a good-faith contributor are tolerated on Wikipedia, even if one of them hilariously prefaced the attack with the phrase "without assuming bad faith".
