No entire nationality is accountable for an individual's actions!
No entire nationality should see them or give any credit or value to what one individual's imagination decides to put on paper.

You are only accountable for what you do. Unless you are the person who wrote the article, you don't need to apologize at all.

We are (in Hong Kong) in a (sort of) free world, where imagination is commonly expressed in public. It's up to each one to recognize value or just ignore it if seen as rubbish!
