That guy is obviously from the lunatic fringe. Regarding segregation & racism, St. Paul made it quite clear that God shows no partiality (\"Salvation is to the Jew first, and also to the Greek...\") Some make the argument that God had told the Hebrew people in the Old Testament to keep themselves separate from the other races and peoples around them and not to mix with them. While that is true, it was because they were idolaters, not because of their race (look at what happened to wise Solomon when he foolishly decided to marry one of them).
If he does not believe God is a Trinity, then he is likely a Jehovah\'s Witness. We consider them heretics. They are not Protestants in the traditional sense. I have had several dealings with them. I know Greek well and if I try to prove from the Greek Scriptures that they are wrong about the Trinity, they simply don\'t want to hear it. There are subtleties in the Greek that prove God is a Trinity that sometimes don\'t come through well in the various translations. I think that it is best to show him your Orthodoxy by living your faith. BTW, why not invite him to Liturgy with you? You never know!
