That IS the very definition of inserting race into a discussion unnecessarily.

I was only trying to refute the accusation that he was racist. That seemed pretty absurd.

Don't have anything to say about your position. I haven't spoken to him personally.

Identifying someone's race doesn't make you a racist.

Observing that some races have historically enjoyed more or less privilege than others isn't racist either.
