I certainly did, yes.
It’s kind of like how if one were to call in to a radio talk show to debate the host on his views, the host would always sound like the winner because it’s his show.

A few? Sorry I disagree - it would be the majority, not a few
There is a lot of racism in this world
Look up any religious faculty in the US - they are limited to the 4 white religions - the 3 Abrahamic religions and Buddhism. Why Buddhism? Number wise they are far less than Hindus - but the Buddha went east and picked up white followers and so Buddhism has gained respect
Philosophy is limited to whites only - mostly male - pick up any book on philosophy - you will be hard pressed to find any women, black or brown philosophers
.
Try this - What if God comes down as a brown man and says his name is Rama - will you accept him?
You can see this is a loaded question and you can ask around but you will NOT get a straight answer
.
Being a Hindu means being open to ALL religions, ALL ideas - that is why we say the Buddha was an incarnation of God Vishnu
It is knowledge we seek - not cheap pleasures of the flesh in Heaven
And as per the Vedas - we must seek not only Vidya(Knowledge) but also Avidya(Not Knowledge)
That means being open to ALL ideas - not everything Muhammed said or the Buddha said is wrong
Muhammed gave women more rights than most other religions of the day and even today Muslim women had more rights back in the day than today - Muslim countries have become these openly sexist countries that Muhammed would be ashamed of
The Buddha taught us to find peace and contentment in a turbulent world
You paint sloppy and derogatory portraits with a broad brush. There's a word for this.

Their bread sticks are the bomb. I love the zuppa tuscanoNow don't be dissin' my endless salad and breadsticks!
I had to Google that. A few ingredients that are not a part of my diet. I don't think Olive Garden has any soups I can eat.

The Buddha went east of India and picked up white followers?
I don't take the concept of idolatry seriously.
It is a concept born of religious and theological intolerance.
And while the opening post helps to deconstruct that in some ways, it feeds into it in others. It is not that humans are all "idolators." It is that some humans decided to practice intolerance and humans should instead, perhaps, accept the plurality of theological and religious experiences and perspectives.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

It's not about your personal opinion - who you view as white or not
It is what the general perception is - blacks, brown asians are discriminated in these countries - there is racism in these countries based on skin color
