I'm slightly unpersuaded. "Have you ever met a Sudanese?" "She married a Senegalese." ?"He's a Guyanese." To me the risk of an offensive or disparaging connotation appears especially with East Asian and maybe South Asian -ese terms, but probably not with African or South American -ese terms (and not for "an East Timorese", as I pointed out in another post). I think this connotation arose in English in the 20th century especially with East Asian demonyms, and native speakers may differ in our perceptions of how widely the connotation spread.
