No one suggested there were any particular racial tendencies on the part of the RAF, in fact when it came to bombing civilians there appeared to be something of an equal opportunities ethos, not discriminating based on race, age, gender etc. The USAF however wouldn't bomb white Europeans but was happy to bomb the Japanese, this combined with the racial propaganda spread by the US seems at the very least a little odd.
