Did you quote the correct post? Your response makes no sense.
Runa216 never said anyone is racist in the post you quoted nor was it even implied. She was only saying that skin color likely wouldn't mess up this or other works of fiction in terms of casting, because the skin color of these characters isn't fundamental to the themes of the story. No judgment was cast on those that don't agree.
Also, Runa216 said she would watch the show even if it was an all white cast (see the bolded text). While something like Black Panther, imho, would have its themes greatly affected by white washing the lead character, the examples she gave (Dragonball or The Ancient One in Doctor Strange) were viewable, because their race changes didn't really change the story in a significant way. Many believe the same can be said for Ciri.
You probably should read what you are responding to. I personally agreed very much with Runa216's response, but even if I didn't, I could see you are putting words in her post that simply aren't there.

Guess you should read more of his posts.
The heritage of the char is of paramount importance to the book, and the relatives are royalty of white skinned people so she being non-white would be a break on what is in the core of the story.

Or you can quote the correct post in which he/she is saying what you are accusing him of, because it's unclear for others, and this is a public forum where we're all having a discussion. What you quoted said no such thing.
And I get your point about heritage of character being important. I don't necessarily agree (I believe the significance is contextual), but I am not saying you are wrong. Just that for some people it would matter and for others it wouldn't. This issue is subjective and there's no right or wrong here.
You saying he's/she's accusing you of being racist after quoting him is plain false, however.
