The world isn't black or white, you can support some things someone says/does and not other things

You have that backwards. Customers of a company get to decide whether or not they want to give that company their money for any reason they fucking please

I'd also argue that no one would care if this were some mid-level manager making a donation. This is the owner of a company, not "staff."

I mean, the Christian precursors to Spain were at war with a series of Islamic Caliphates on the Iberian Peninsula for the better part of 800 years. They didn't like each other very much. It's totally likely they intentionally mispronounced words

To be fair, many Spanish words are bastardizations of Arabic words. This is just how languages evolve. For example the word Guadalupe is believed to derive from Arabic wādī al-lubb (hidden river). When people in my town pronounce it "Guadaloop," it's actually closer to the OG than the Spanish is lol
