Which is different from what was said... how?

To pretend that those claims were made is what's actually telling of biases.

Because memory safety isn't just about data races. In fact data races are far from Rust's most innovative or important feature. They are a side-effect, the designers had a nice system and saw it can also prevent data-races, so they said "sure, why not".
