The main character being white is not an insult. The character is supposed to be a American who failed in the Army and went to Japan as a mercenary.
But having him even vaguely referred or even compared favorably to as a samurai seemed demeaning to samurai legacy. Yes, the samurai were mercenaries of a sort, but they were also their own subculture and not mere opportunists.
