Plus the comic is pretty clear on the fact that this is about things being potentially insulting to Wiccans. Because if Ewing wants to change the name because he doesn't like it, but gives the cultural reasons in the story the implication is that he is an bigot who uses other cultures as justification to change things around he doesn't like. Hypocrisy 101. Thats a worse implication than him having a massive case of white guilt and feeling the misguided but real need to stand up for these discriminated people.
White tiger gets her power from a god that is a white tiger and I believe the cultural white tiger is some kind of guardian deity so the connection is a lot stronger thant just choosing a color and animal.
