I can't speak for the producers, but this would not offend me were I one of them. I'd be quite happy with it.
If I were a producer of the show I might go so far as to actually discuss this issue with the (graffiti) artists on camera, so long as they agreed to be reasonable and collegial about it.
One of the great opportunities for the producers is to shine a light on the show not being particularly racist, but that characters might be - a little.
Having said that, it sounds difficult.
I think the best example of this is The Americans, which stops just short of making the FBI look stupid while kind of raising its eyebrows at the then-prominent "evil empire" narratives. The ...constraints of Soviet political culture are also shown well.
But the craft level of "The Americans" is extremely high.
