But there was no racism. So he's talking nonsense.

I mean... some of those comments are clearly racist. I also don't think you can call the casting of a new role a "diversity hire" without it being somewhat racist. Recasting a role/retconning a character, yes I can see the issue, but a brand new character? Suggesting that they "should be white" and anything else is a diversity casting is clearly racist.

Whether or not the level is newsworthy depends on the proportion of people making those sorts of comments; stamping out trolling entirely is an unachievable goal and sometimes shining a spotlight on the accounts doing it has the opposite effect, and it serves as a beacon to other like-minded people to join in.

You've personally altered the definition of racism to suit if you think that is racism.
