I certainly did file a complaint against generic-logos which has

the new standard applies to concerns outside of U.S as well.
That's the crux of the issue, "offensive" is really interpreted as
"offensive to people in the USA". That just does not make sense
for a worldwide distribution, nor even for an international
company.
This statement is blatantly false.
And I consider this to be blatantly naive. You will always find somebody who
complains about something and you will always find situations, which were
things are far from being clear.
Just consider the "F20 swastika background" and a Fedora release once having
been called "Werewulf". As a German, both incidents caused me to "raise an
eye-brow", but weren't worth it to make a fuzz about.
That said, it would seem common sense to me for FESCO to have contacted some
official representative of the "American Indian People" or the "Cherokee
Nation/People" and ask for their opinion.
Did this happen? What did these representatives say?

OK, that's better than nothing, but this still is just one individual's
position and is far from being an official position.
