I wouldn't whitewash the Kells at all. I'm not even sure Mindfire has actually read your book himself, as opposed to just going off that other review's (presumably mis-)characterization. Not saying he isn't pointing out real stereotypes in the American context, but I'd have more confidence in criticism that didn't draw completely from a secondhand report.
The problem is not that all what Mindfire says really happens in my book, for I know it doesn't. But just as that specific blogger assumed the worst by that list of apparent problems, so can others. And if there is one thing I don't need is that the blogosphere starts whispering that I write racist books. I'd rather change the book now I can discretely do so, than being forced to do so later.
