Racism not as problematic as angry minorities

Racism may be a problem, but it is usually the angry minority that has the problem, and they continue to fuel it by their persistent anger. Angry minorities don't hesitate to pull the race card especially if they are offended. This is why people, particularly whites, are hesitant to use the term "African American" or "Black" for fear of possibly offending the minority and being labeled a racist. Last time I checked, we don't have a constitutional right to not be offended. Maybe these angry minorities need to get over it and move on.
