invention by the dear Earl of Sandwich
If you apply critical race theory here, you'll probably conclude that the Earl didn't invent the idea of slapping two slices of bread around something to make it more manageable/mangeable, and that the term is an example of appropriation by the white ruling class of a concept with a deep history within the colonised nations.

So if the word is also a racial slur it can’t be used to refer to the invention by the dear Earl of Sandwich?
The etymology of the word Sambo when referring to a sandwich is younger than the more sinister definition and does not generally seemed to be used daily
Lived in Ireland for four years. Never bothered me when someone said “lets grab a sambo” even though I was aware of the word’s other definition.
