Sure, let's keep the whole discussion (i.e. "this") in mind then, rather than any one specific claim that may or may not be in there. There is room for nuance here, and that's exactly what we'll need, rather than a binary of "facts can/can't be racist." I've read the thread (thanks for insinuating I didn't!) and many commenters concede that while facts may not be racist, the context and motivations behind presenting them can be racist. And there never really is a pure "fact" isolated from a context, is there? So to attempt to apply the claim that a fact can't be racist (or ask "why bring race into this?") to a real-world situation is to take the fact in isolation, which is a mistake. Keep that in mind.
