Alternate History and Real-World Insult

I'm deeply uncomfortable about the current debate concerning Patricia Wrede's new novel The Thirteenth Child, an alternate-history fantasy in which the Americas (North and South) are, for magical reasons, not settled by humans until the coming of the Europeans.
this is unacceptable, say some, because it insults / excludes Native Americans )
This feels like a peculiar kind of censorship and I am uncomfortable, angry and disturbed by it.
