I certainly don't advocate for making some of the clearly way over the line statements he's made, but yeah, nobody gives a shit because white dudes are in power. Mocking white people isn't a sensitive issue because, frankly, even most white people don't give a shit. I certainly don't. Yell all you want, we're still kind of in the top slot.
Which I don't say as a "hey, isn't it great I'm white" comment. It's just a fact. I'm very critical of current power structures that shit on certain groups of people so other groups can stay in power. In general those who belong to groups under the thumb of others at some point rebel most of the time. This is a stage of social development well known to anyone who studies intercultural communications in this kind of context, a stage of separation before (ideally) a healthier integration. White people who continue to grow tend to go through it too in regards to white culture before coming out the other side with a more complete perspective. I have plenty of non-white friends and associates I routinely joke with about white people in general, and we will happily speak to each other in real terms about issues of privilege and power. Don't suspect a discussion like that with this dude would be especially productive, but he seems a bit more openly hostile than the average. (That said, I don't disagree with a lot of his assertions, and that list of tweets is more critical of white power structure than outright "racist" ... though he certainly veers into that territory on multiple occasions, and you're right, it's as ugly there as it is in any other context.)
Either way, it's really not surprising that nobody's reported much on it. It's a guy virtually nobody knows even if they like video games, unless they're like us and they know way too much (or are especially big fans of the studio), and he's one who hasn't really made enough big, public waves to get a bunch of eyes on the fact that he's said any of this. The games press rarely reports on stuff like this regardless. You'll see some white guys get bashed for things once in a blue moon when something comes out, but that's got little if anything to do with political or cultural bias so much as it does the fact that most of those white guys are way, way, way more well known. Walk up to a random gamer and say "Manveer Heir" and see how many of them know who you're talking about. Say "John Carmack" or "Palmer Lucky" and watch the numbers skyrocket.
This is an issue in games journalism in general, where the readership is really fairly small and even among them, many readers are not especially well informed. And more mainstream press like news outlets and such don't touch games or game industry stuff very often in anything but a niche critical capacity and for the occasional huge business movement. They're certainly not going to do a bunch of arm-flapping trying to get people's attention about some guy nobody outside of games even has a chance of having heard of.
