What's wrong with your post is that it's simply untrue. If you want me to elaborate, sure:
Among high level players, Terran is still the strongest race and Zerg the weakest. take a look at the list of tournament winners since patch 1.1:

Tournament finalists be race since patch 1.1
Simple statistics show Terrans are placing higher and winning more tournaments than any other race at high level competitions and Zergs are winning the least. Keep in mind this is all after Patch 1.1, the one that left Zerg alone and nerfed reapers / tanks.
Yes the roach range buff of 1.2 helps tremendously, but it still doesn't skew the balance of the matchup towards Zerg. At very best, it makes it sort of even, but realistically it just turns the matchup from impossible to possible but still hard. Admittedly the most significant change is the reaper nerf, which allows Zergs to play hatch first, and this seems pretty big so we'll let it play out and then decide but overall Zerg is definitely not the strongest race.
Also unit stats aside, there's still fundamental problems to the matchup. Terran has way more early options and tech rushes and way better scouting and is better at controlling the pace of the game as opposed to Zerg players who usually find themselves in a passive, reactive role based of extremely limited scouting.
Try using real statistics of real players instead of imparting your low diamond knowledge.
