Anyone who's going to take it upon themselves to publicly proclaim something is racist has an obligation to educate themselves on the context first. I could understand somebody being taken aback at first and then trying to find out more about it but this guy clearly went from step 1 straight to public moral outrage and made himself look like an absolute fool in the process.
And "if I was black I'd react like this" is massively problematic itself.
