I didn't take the blog entry as an authoritative guide to "how to react to accusations of racism" but I did think it was food for thought.
I wouldn't get offended if someone pointed out that something I *said* sounded racist, but might if they accused *me* of being racist. Though, I think in this country especially, none of is is completely free of racial/ethnic biases, so I'm always open to the idea that I have racist ideas/attitudes I'm not aware of.
