Pretty much this.
Although I think if something is obviously intended to be racist and deliberately offensive, speaking out is the right thing to do. In this case, Zulu's haven't said they are offended, so getting up in arms could be interpreted as patronising. It's as if they can't speak for themselves and need whites to do it for them.
