By social cohesion they probably mean social cohesion. Assuming the worst creates noise (and is explicitly against HN rules).
The fact that two people from some pairings of cultures don't socially cohere as well generally, on average than two people from the same culture shouldn't be a controversial thought. It's demonstrably a non-negligible issue. I've seen it undeniably harm teams and make everybody basically miserable, first hand, three or four times. Of course if one uses that fact to attempt to spread hatred, then that is a problem.
Why do this curt shitcoating of another person's honest opinion?
Edit: And as a sad disclaimer, I am not defending the parent's person. I do not know them. I am only criticizing your response.
