Intent doesn't matter when you make something potentially harmful, or say something that is harmful, or do something that is harmful. I don't really give a flying crab what your intent was, if you sit there and insult an entire swathe of people, or delegate them to a terrible representation in your media, you're at fault. You can be criticized, rightfully so.

If you chuck a rock at someone and think you're absolved of wrongdoing by stating "I had no intention of hurting you" that won't fly, you're the one who made the poor decision to throw the rock anyway and are liable for the damage.

Or you can sit there and argue semantics for an hour, making yourself look like a tool.

Your choice.
