If you shop long enough, you can find a member of any group who will publicly proclaim offense about anything you wish.
I can recall a number of years ago there was an editorial in the newsletter of one of the Sioux tribal newspapers to the effect that "Sioux" is a designation that was applied to them by Europeans. They prefer to be called "Lakota," which is the name of the seven sub-tribes comprising the Lakota nation. I personally know Native Americans who don't like being called "Native Americans."
Being offended is big business today.
