Take for example the Monk Fruit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siraitia_grosvenorii
Known in China...but scientific name attributed to the westerner who "found it" in the 1930s.
It's very common if you are cognizant of it.
Chinese does exactly the same thing. I mean, is 盲文 [1] 'yellow' (euch--your terminology) washing? It meets the same standard.
And how about China claiming to have invented high-speed rail, mobile payments and ecommerce? [2] No cries of racism for that one? Strange.
There are many parallel examples.
Edit:
[1] 盲文 lit. blind language aka Braille in English, after its creator.
The same standard would be if China took the word "Braille" and then in Chinese, it is named after the first Chinese person who read Braille.
If you think English speakers have an easy time saying "Siraitia grosvenorii", the scientific name, named after the "discover" Grosvenor, then you have some serious delusions.
