Not only that, but the parent comment wasn't suggesting restricting speech in any capacity, explicitly or implicitly.
Normally I'd ignore a one-off dishonest or misleading comment, but this post has many different comments by you that could be categorized as such.
Anything can change, but not by willful blindness.
Unless you want to define any territorial conflict between 2 sides as always based on race, when race is only incidental to other differences.
The Rwandan genocide was same race, but different ethnicities.
By modern standards, the crusades could also be called racist instead of mostly religious in nature.
The idea that “race” is anything other than a set of broad-focus ethnic labels is itself racist in the narrow sense and “racism” in modern common usage encompasses racial bigotry as well as bigotry based around the perceived significance of the classical races or things labelled “races” distinct from ethnicities by the actors involved; though, often, the actors involved in which bigotry do explicit use the language of race even when talking about groupings that, say, Americans see as “ethnic” as distinct from “racial”, because conceptions of what categories are “races” is quite fluid and usually (including in the model applied by the US government, which is far from globally universal) not limited to the classical Negroid, Mongoloid, and Caucausoid races.

"CNN is trying its hand at anthropology.
In a case that highlights continuing confusion over how to define Latino ethnicity, the television news network has set off a controversy over its continued use of the term “white Hispanic” to describe George Zimmerman, the man whose killing of unarmed, black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin set off a national debate about the persistence and nature of racism."
HuffPost characterizing this as CNN “trying its hand at anthropology” rather than CNN applying the standard government model is evidence of HuffPost distorting facts to suit an agenda, and not even in a way which stands up to casual scrutiny.
