This is spot-on - it's not surprising that confirmation bias is the strongest force in most people's impressions of race.
Besides this, I think there's a strong tendency among the general population to write off things they don't understand as "genetic" which is clearly incredibly dangerous.
Also LOL at "my comments were misconstrued" - not hard to parse something like "anyone who has worked with a black person knows what I'm talking about," you senile douche.
