I would be curious to know at which point in history one could circulate a memo around the office which embarrassed the company and insulted half the workforce without repercussion.

I find it so bizarre people get this interpretation - it's completely nonsensical. Point: "Chinese tend to be short so not many of them go into basketball". Counterpoint: "I'm Chinese and 6'5" are you saying I'm short and bad at basketball?"

No one seems to understand that he is talking about the aggregate.
