Why? Assuming the photo is real, it is obviously a standard match template with two countries’ initial three letters. If anyone makes an association to black person, it is their own fault. If anyone even finds it offensive, they are simply stupid.

Don’t be stupid.
Don’t embarrass yourself.
This is clearly one the many ways in which you are not hooked up right.
