On facts. If you read the comments, there are multiple sources for this claim. Even if the particular commenter did not have the source link handy, this is discussed a lot and they might have heard about it or read about it in relevant places and remembered the fact. Even if they didn't, assuming that the country with world's biggest population, one of the world's biggest manufacturing bases and known for not-exactly-excellent attitudes toward environmental issues may be a major source of waste is not an unreasonable assumption. It could be wrong (which it isn't, but it could theoretically be), but jumping from that assumption directly to "racism" accusation is plain insane and can only be aimed at preventing proper factual discussion instead of facilitating it. I think you should apologize for mentioning "racism", especially that you yourself admit China is a major polluter (not that it would be racist even if it weren't but even more in this case).
