I interpret it as the person writing the letter understanding the context of such terms when used to describe people of color.

All this letter is saying is "Hey white people, please fucking think about how you're engaging with these characters that are a direct result of black culture and how that type of engagement might effect people who's culture that is before you fucking engage like that."

I know white fragility makes statement like that hard to take, but being hard to take doesn't make it wrong.

How it might affect people from that culture? Hmm, let's see. Being able to have a character from within your culture that you can squee about with your friends? You're right, that sounds terrible, better start turning fandom into a toxic cesspit from now so that all the fun stuff is replaced with passive-aggressive 'friendly reminder' posts and cyberbullying dressed up as activism.

Because goodness knows I'd much rather have my culture associated with driving people to suicide than with people squeeing.
