Well, you advanced, so no need for regret! Just food for thought if you do a similar story in the future where race is a factor.
I was really fearful of my Ch1 story (which features an obsessed fan and closeted gay pop stars) being considered offensive so I tried to make sure my writing couldn't be misread in an offensive way (reread it multiple times and called out in beta that I was concerned about my portrayal of these characters and hoping for other perspectives), and was still scared I missed the mark. But apparently my big failing was that I didn't kill any of them. Edited to add: The MC's name was so Western, I think it was obvious he wasn't native just from that; he definitely could have been black and as out of his element in Africa as a white man. It's just interesting to wonder how the racially-sensitive judge would have reacted if there were no reference to whiteness at all!
