How about if they think that people associated with certain cultures that eat dog are immoral?
What if that person tells an [I]American [/] that eating tacos is disgusting? And they say that because they think Mexicans eat tacos and Mexicans are disgusting.
That seems more like what might be going on here.

Would you like to reconsider this in light of the previous?

You've added a considerable amount of context/additional detail to those examples that might indicate racist motives. (Although even with the add'l info, the "eat dog" example is not cut-and-dry racism. There may be other factors in play.)

No, not at all as it relates to the letter-writer. The additional context is - to my knowledge - not present. Therefore, it's just
inference.
