How did we get to a point where somebody with an English sounding name is teaching lessons on racism against Asians to an Asian?

You did nothing wrong. As a European I didn’t even have a clue what a wok might be for most of my life. Buying one would make no sense.

>English sounding name is teaching lessons on racism

They didn't "teach" a "lesson" on racism, they said an entire 15 words in an edit and gave a range of "sheltered" to "at worst, practically racist". A bit hyperbolic? Sure. A lesson? No.
