What everyone has tried to tell you is that they see people as people but, in the particular, relevant post, there was an identifiable group. Suppose the group mentioned had been young women aged 22. Would you have been so quick to yell "Anti-youth Mysoganist!"? No, I doubt you would. And if I were to say that some of my friends are 22 year-old women would there be an equivalent label to Racist that you could put on me?
It isn't those who see a trend amongst a particular section of Society who cause friction. It's those see any reference to an ethnic minority group as, somehow, derogatory and wrong. Your remarks contribute to, and exacerbate, mistrust and ill-feeling between races and cultures.
