My wife and most of my family are immigrants, none are offended nor care what a grocery store labels this stuff, which by the way depending on where you are, has more than just Asian and Hispanic food. I have seen for Jewish, Eastern Europe cuisine, Indian, etc.

Exactly...no one is offended by this. And anyway, most of us go to our own grocery stores for ethnic items anyway. Regular groceries don’t even carry that much.

The writer in the article linked in the OP is surely offended. And voices like his are taken seriously in our Clown World.
One random person who's ideas are put forth in major publications. Just another thing in a loooong list of ridiculous things that are now considered "racist."
It started out as one random person, but now a major media outlet has given that random person a big megaphone. And the speed with which lunatic-idiot ideas become social diktats these days mean we have to push back against lunatic-idiot ideas the minute they blossom.

Go ahead and be dismissive, but let me give you a case study that hits a little too close to home: about three weeks ago my daughter's best friend was dragged into the school office and threatened with suspension. Her crime: using the "OK" symbol on the playground. I wish I were making this up, but I'm not. Imagine her mom's confusion when she got the call from her school explaining her daughter's transgression. That could have just as easily been my wife and me, getting a call about OUR daughter.
Are you ready for the exponential absurdity multiplier of this story? Here ya go: the girl in question is black.
Mind you, nobody in the last century ever thought the "OK" hand gesture was racist until about 20 minutes ago, when one random cockmuppet on 4chan decided to declare it a racist symbol. And now a vaunted anti-racist organization has declared it so, and people are losing their jobs over it, and little black girls are being dragged into principals' offices over it, because we all thought it was too absurd to bother pushing back against when it first became a thing.
You can shrug for now, until you or someone you know gets caught up in the faux-outrage hysteria.
