All of them, in the opening post. Of course you wouldn't see it. You either like to see the best in everyone, or at the very least in your fellow Christians. Something that can be an admirable trait, but sometimes you have to pull that curtain back.
He says in the opening post: "And they wonder why we do not take their charges of racism and bigotry seriously anymore..." Verbatim. His own words. Which implies that Racism is dead, or at the very least not a problem anymore. (He's also previously went on about how poor people have nothing to complain about anymore, because they have refrigerators. Which is equally ridiculous)
And of course he takes joy in dismissing claims of racism so casually, because of events so small that you have to look at them under a microscope.
It's a common tactic these days. Ignoring issues because people do something you disagree with. It's pure spite. And I see no reason to be spiteful toward an entire race of people, unless you are in fact racist against them.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
