They're talking about the people who deny cultural problems in minority communities, and continue to suppress discussion of them or attempts to fix them because they think offending minorities is the same thing as being racist.

They're doing it while speaking at a single individual who may or may not, in fact, belong to this group of people he's accusing.
Pluralizing the individuals you argue with like that seems, to me, like a tactic that only serves to reveal that the person in question isn't trying to engage in a discussion so much as they are trying to project and vent for their own satisfaction. I'd call it the political equivalent of a Tolkien fan seeing someone in a Harry Potter T-shirt and saying "we told you people real-life Quidditch looks dumb".
