I sort of feel like I'm missing something. She's talking about mosquitoes chomping on people from a place where there are a lot of mosquitoes. How is that related to race at all?

It is an incredibly stupid thing to say because one should realize there will be backlash about it like this. But it isn't like she said something that was even stereotypical, let alone racist. At least in my opinion. But maybe I'm missing something.

Maybe the racist part is lost in translation.
