I briefly browsed the throw-away paperback aisle at the grocery store, and there were sensitivity warnings on the page after the copyright page. Seems like murder doesn't require a "sensitivity warning", but an in passing mention of suicide require the warning, and the suicide hotline number.
An explicit sex scene might warrant a warning, but when an interracial kiss between a couple requires a warning, things have gone insane.
