Or perhaps you weren't offended because you aren't from the culture or demographic that may have taken offense? I do agree sometimes things can be too pc or misconstrued but just as I dislike gratuitous sex or violence in a movie but can accept something as graphic/raw as The Piano Teacher because it was an integral part of the movie, so too I can accept the portrayal of minorities in less than positive light, but gratuitous racial stereotyping is just pandering to the lowest common denominator. Ironically, the original trilogy, made in a "less PC" era, was also less offensive - in fact, not offensive at all. Plus mediocrity is always offensive.

I still stand by my statement that those who were offended by anything in the movie, are too easily offended.
