What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

Yeah... that's a pretty reasonable conclusion. It's hard to just state outright though, when I live with the exact sort of person described in your comment.

It's interesting: the people who are fine with calling an entire race murderous seem to take great umbrage at being considered "racist."

It's the r-word to them -- a slur used to invalidate their concerns and diminish the importance of their well-being.

That their concerns ought to be invalidated -- since they are the racist result of racist fear-mongering -- is never well-received.
