What this guy says isn't wrong. It's been known for a while that different races have different gene expressions that affect health in different ways. There is a lot of research in this field.
One example is buoyancy differences and its effect on the ability to swim well or not. But that's clearly racist.

Remember that this is the dietary guidelines for Americans. I want to emphasize that last word. These guidelines are for Americans.

First, the concept of 'the other' is a natural consequence of evolution. Humans' ability to differentiate on a more granular level than other species is in direct correlation to their ability to survive, thrive, and dominate. How the cognitive ability to differentiate, select, and categorize extended into prejudices such as racism I think is more a matter of social and psychological engineering.
That said, how to recognize and even celebrate the diversity of humanity without resorting to artificial constructs like identity politics, which only perpetuate impediments such as racism?
The Far Left says racist (not to mention all other ists and isms) engineering can be reversed by legislative oversight; most reasonable folks analogize this strategy to the efforts of the Thought Police in "1984".
Martin Luther King suggested, I think, in his dream that content of character would be a superior standard over skin pigment, that reverse engineering prejudices such as racism would be more a matter of conscience than law or ideology.
Oh, and don't be disparaging my milk!

It is ridiculous on is face and my guess is that this is probably a troll.
That being said, in the United States we drink waaaay too much milk. It's good for you when you are little, but really after 7 or 8 years old, it's not necessary.....in most European countries and even South America, they drink far less milk than we do here in the States....and we are not any more healthy than those countries by any appreciable margin
