Nobody made the racist claim you're making, here. They just pointed out that the American Founding Fathers were mostly a bunch of dickheads who had overall pretty abusive and shitty ideas, and recognizing that fact is a necessary part of understanding history. It doesn't mean people from other cultures weren't also shitty dickheads about things, but the American Founding Fathers do not stand tall among their global peers in this or, really, any regard.
I mean, the best of them in terms of influential philosophy was arguably Jefferson, who was a hypocrite about pretty much all that philosophy and a rapist to boot.
