Dude, if you were as sensitive to this as you are to every time someone makes out all scousers are thieves, or dodgy as fuck, then you might be able to get your head around it.
But since you won't make that connection and scouser's aren't systematically demonised, jailed, and/or killed for having an annoying accent rather than the colour of their skin, you can still get on your high horse about it, and hold your hands up like, "what's there to be offended about".
If I were being sensitive I would say you're just as unconsciously racist as Griezmann, and anyone else who decides to black up, and then gets upset when people call you on it, because you know "it's all just a bit of fun, where's the harm in that".
As a white male, who gets the benefit of 300 yrs of racism, you don't get to tell anyone whose dark of skin, what they can or can't be offended by when it comes to race. Because you know that's kinda fucking racist as well.
