This conversation came up on a YouTube stream I was watching several months back, and a Jewish Youtuber on the panel said "I think it would be awesome if there was a sports team called 'The Fighting Kikes'." And I've seen several people of various ethnicities who disagree that "X sports team/portrayal is racist", so I don't think it's as much your race/ethnicity, but more how willing you are to interpret a portrayal as positive/negative (which is going to lean away from lefties with a victim mentality.)
