I guess the problem is that the author has brought it up in the article. Race has no place in this article and yet it's there.

That’s my point, by bringing it up in the article you can deflect most of the comments that would _try_ to turn the discussion towards race. Whether the author genuinely feels like that or not... who knows.
Yes. And I think his point is that you shouldn't cater to extremist behaviour. Which I agree as well. Don't pick a side as a defence. Just censor any attempts to start the war.
What's the opposite of a dog whistle?
I've read that elephants can produce very low frequency sounds (sub-20Hz) that travel long distances and can't be perceived by smaller animals.

"Elephant infrasound" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "dog whistle", though.

"Trunk call"?
