I really don't understand how it can be racist, or even culturally insensitive unless it's done to be racist or culturally insensitive.  It can be perceived that way, sure, but lots of things are perceived wrong.


(but I think people worry way too much about protecting culture, or worse, other people's culture....if the culture is that freaking important, it will stick around.  If not, it will die like all the other cultures that have died.  I have the same issue with language.  Why should we care if a language dies (assuming we have a fairly full knowledge of the language for etymology reasons), nobody is hurt by this.)
