'IF' - you may have missed that little word.
Oh come on now, you know full well what you were implying. No-one had explicitly mentioned racisim (although you were replying to Oh_hunnihunni's clear implication) but you suggest they should leave if they're racist. If you're not generalising (aka being racist), why not say "if they're murderers/rapists/tax dodgers etc., they can leave?
If I said about Samoans: "If they're thieves, they can go back to Samoa", would that be racist? We all know that "I'm only saying IF" would be a pretty pathetic excuse in that case as it is in yours.
