I think the idea of offence is over rated by many, the ease and access of social media is that many people will post throw away comments, that do not reflect the true view, the media report it because it is easy and generates clicks.
The story may have originated on social media, but it made the papers, which then makes it an issue. Cultural Appropriation is not just somebody putting the twit in Twitter though...
