I agree with you that the world is nowhere near "doomed" or even heading in that direction. It's not fair to claim racism here, however. The poster did not mention anything about race.

Last I checked you didn't need to use the word race to be a racist. I think you're nit picking at a point that was admittedly shaky.

You don't even have to be actually racist to be considered a racist these days either.

the subject of race has to somehow be implied or involved for the comment/person to be racist. No one is claiming racists will just tell you its a race issue.
