Sure, but this is a pretty weak chain of evidence.
The relevant part of the post (as it is currently):
It frustrates me when people say “I don’t see people in terms of race”. I empathize with where they’re coming from. Talking about race isn’t any fun when you belong to the ethnic majority. Racial pride slips easily into prejudice. It is risky even to tell jokes.
The “people” saying (or, presumably, writing) the phrase in question aren’t obviously even members of “the rationalist community”.
“The rationalist community” is itself an extremely nebulous category.
And this post is ostensibly about ‘(harmful) generalizations of (individual) people based on their group membership’, so it seems sad that the post itself seems to be engaging in that same kind of behavior. (And the post title seems even more inflammatory, given that it starts with “imperialism”!)
