I have lived in other countries, and I found it annoying not speaking the same language, not sharing the same customs and having different food norms. That said, I don't think those are racist preferences. I can like what I want where I want. I am much happier in the States or Canada. Had I been fluent in those countries I may have a different opinion.
If someone lives in a community where they are a minority and they feel the way I felt in another country, why is that racist? Unless the poster claims to dislike people for their background or incists on being superior to them, why are those preferences wrong? I did think the way he wrote that was a little out there.
Cultures can be very different and include different ways of doing things, there is nothing wrong with having your own preferences.
I certainly don't mind Puck correcting the cultural distinctions and have more of a problem with Traditional's snooty attacks.
