Tone it down 

Someone telling someone else to tone it down usually has nothing to do with race, it's because the other person is full of shit.
He/she didn't like being told that he/she was full of shit even if the person that said tone it down had a point, and the one they said to tone it down to had no point, but still looked for anything he/she could to be argumentative over just to be argumentative, a stop sign being red not being good enough of an answer not to get argumentative about it without good reason, for example.

tone-it-down

command for someone to lower the volume of voice, audio or attitude
mother: "son can you turn down the music, i'm on the phone!"

punk son: "no mom!, i aint gonna tone-it-down!"
