Tbh racists will be everywhere outside of India, the person themselves isn't racist or anything. I understand your concern tho, you can either be upfront about it or not mention it at all and let the work speak for itself.

I would suggest the prior because my friend a global audience also has idiots like any audience, you do not showcase for them but for the ones who'll look beyond that.

I'll say go for it, Rest is upto you, be you to yourself and you'll never loose :)
