You can't compare use of one of the most heavily laden racial slurs in the English language to use of a common 2nd-person plural pronoun like "you guys."
There's a reasonability test here: if someone complains about the 2nd-person plural pronoun in one of the most widely spoken dialects of English, that's inherently less reasonable than complaining about use of a racial slur that's almost universally reviled. The latter is reasonable, but the former looks like moral crusading, perhaps even bullying.
