Much bigger issues to worry about than a cheap necklace that might be worn 5 times a year . Have a great day 😁

I don't think it's due to fragility. The topic has become taboo. Just look at what the race-baiters can and have done to people who were 'just having fun' as you say. I don't believe there was racist intent here but somebody else thinks there was. Some of those people who would be 'offended' have made very, very lucrative careers out of just these things. Rosanne fairly recently torpedoed her career. Jimmie the Greek way back when did the same thing. OJ's acquittal was due in not insignificant part because Flea Bailey took Mark Fuhrman's use of the n-word totally out of context and managed to cast the LA police force as racists because of it. Flea hammered Fuhrman who denied ever using the word. Fuhrman was writing a book containing the word and recorded some of the dialogue so his entire testimony was deemed perjury. Presently, with the internets, nothing ever goes away.
It's not fragility. It's adaptive vigilance.
