The only thing i could think of that might be much more offensive than i interpret it, would be the "genetically preconditioned". To me, the "almost" made it seem like a figure of speech, an obvious exaggeration. Not that OP actually thinks that there is something up with the genom. But considering the bad things people say about russian people, and how it seems to have become totally acceptable for many to discriminate based on nationality, i can see how either i, as a non-russian person, might not be sensitive enough for the wording here, or, how russians are extra sensitive.
In case my comment seems provocative, it is not meant like that at all. I want to learn about your honest perspective.
