And are german and irish people offended as well by General Hux (I mean, he’s a space nazi ginger) ? They should be I guess. Are gay people offended by C-3PO (he clearly sounds like my hairdresser) ? Or aren’t just american people getting offended more easily that europeans (swedish not included) ?

Well, as Hux was not doing a stereotypical german accent or 3P0 doing a stereotypical gay characterisation (Daniels pretty much talks that way in real life) , there was nothing there to offend people, so you cannot compare those to the uproar about the prequel characterisations.
