That's fair enough.
I'm a liberal egalitarian so I believe that everyone should have fair and equal access to everything from the get go, be it economical, social, and yes, cultural (note, equality of opportunity, not of outcome).
The issue is when we start ring fencing things because someone is 'offended'. Nobody has a right not to be offended. If they did, then we'd have ass holes all over the world murdering people because someone 'offended' them.
To conclude with my thoughts to the OP, this Randa Jarrar woman is advocating the exact same thing she appears to want to eradicate (racism, xenophobia, etc) through writing a blatantly racist article that seeks to protect her imagined cultural heritage. And she's either too stupid to realise it, or she knows it and is just ignoring it.
