I was slagging the people who said it's about being black, not about Hitler, Stalin, the USSR, Putin, etc.

This is holocaust denialism.

Saying Hitler is white is holocaust denial?

Equating Hitler and Stalin or Nazi Germany and the USSR is holocaust trivialization, according to Jewish holocaust scholars. Dovid Katz did a popular article on it that you can probably search.
