Could be... but to be fair, as a matter of course I see the converse of your statement quoted below all the time.
"The fact that he went with brown skin instead of Hawaiian while using Caucasian instead of White skin says a lot."
People very commonly use the term "white" in combination with some other categorization which does not reference skin pigmentation. Does that not also say a lot? And if not, why is that?
Yes, I found Punatic007's use of the term brown-skinned to be abrasive and pretty much offensive. As distasteful as I found it to be, in the overall context I leaned towards assuming Punatic007 was expressing frustration at, and perhaps illustrating, a prevalent double standard. In any case, it made me notice and think.

"Locals have been criminally vicious to caucasians for decades, violent racial hate crimes."
Whether one agrees with Punatic's above statement verbatim or not, there is no denying there is some sort of real truth in it. In addition to observing the usual range of aggression, unfortunately I have personally witnessed at least a few very violent, spontaneous, completely unprovoked attacks involving adults which were most clearly racially motivated, resulting in some pretty serious injury to the victim. It's something we need to acknowledge has been a real problem within the local culture.
