What would a thoughtful discussion about this particular story look like?
What you're advocating for here in terms of policing the type of discussion and the types of people that can contribute to the discussion here (based on your assumptions about their personal experiences) is incredibly Orwellian. Obviously this is a private forum and you can do whatever you want but, seriously what you're saying is a bit absurd.
Also FWIW (not much to me, but probably a lot to you) I have personally experienced racism many times in my life.
