I love when people freak out over silly stuff like that, because then it gives jackasses a perfect opportunity to reply to the essays with their own essays about how white guys are so oppressed since everybody isn't crusading to protect them. Then they go on to the part where they explain to us that only genocide and slavery are anything to get upset about, and any milder racism is unchangable human nature and automatically funny anyway.
After all, the people overreacting in the first place prove that anyone who gives a shit about anything is an insane PC-obsessed liberal with no sense of humor.
That's always so much fun. And by fun I mean "oh god everybody SHUT THE HELL UP and look at the damn kittens".
