Racially derogatory terms. The way I've heard "Patel" used, it's almost never in a nice way.

I've never heard Patel used this way - but admittedly I've never lived in an area with much, if any, Indian population. However, I can see the point you're making - if you are saying it would be like someone using something like "Paco" to refer to a Hispanic player.
In any of these cases I'd have to be certain it was being done in a racial way.
