So basically, animal crossing added hairdos from black culture, and white people put them on their character in game, and people are genuinely going nuts about it.

That was just an example, the point is that if you want to 'err on the side of caution' then you can always find a few people who are offended by something. If 99% of people (within a certain minority group) say "yeah this is fine it's really not a big deal" and less than 1% are offended, it's not necessarily a good idea to act like it's offensive just because some people say it is.
And what if by acting like it's a big deal you're actually weirding out the 99% of people who don't think it's offensive?
It's not like it's always better to view every controversial thing as offensive.
