Yes if it was "Dear black people" someone would have something to say about it, and then the media would pick it up and run all over with it.
But it would depend on the context....
There was a video made a few years back .. see below 2mil + people have seen the reuploaded ver I'm posting here... It did not make the news nor were there any riots etc..
Dear black people:
"The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what??
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2??
Where were you when he was 12??
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol??
And where is the father?? Or, who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward, isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?
Or, are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up?"
