It'd been quite a while since I saw it. I misremembered.

Fair enough. I think a lot of these concerns are based on misrememberings and misunderstandings. I think it would have been helpful to mention when you posted the link that you had misremembered it, though.

My apologies. I tried to edit it but I think there are too many replies.

Would you mind editing your original post with a clarification? Most will read it but not the replies...

The user “causi” might as well delete it. The whole premise of their top-level comment was characterizing a “racial sensitivity guide” of which they have no adequate recollection, and cannot provide evidence that it even existed as they described.
A more cynical person might say they’ve injected a red herring into the thread, wasting others’ time.
