Where exactly have you mentioned a race? Nowhere explicitly. Racists often don't, though.
"These people" very often codes for racism. "Arab countries" (as opposed to "Muslim countries") usually means countries inhabited by Arabs - and especially in a post that is talking about Saudi Arabia!
Look, you may not be a racist. I hope you aren't. But a racist could have written the exact same post, and then used "not a race" as a motte-and-bailey defense of their veiled racism.
So, at a minimum, be aware that the way you are writing is giving off that vibe.
