I spent some time crafting that response. Unfortunate for me. Thank you for the follow up, I do agree with this.

Forgot one more thing.

I don't think everyone agreed it was out of line. There were only 2 comments calling zoobab's original comment racism. One of them spawned this thread about which words to use, rather than agreement with the condemnation.
The other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50196949 that called it racist still looks gray and downvoted to me.
That's why I fight about stuff like this. It's all too easy to brush it under the "not racism, totally cool" carpet otherwise.
