His comments do not speak to any sort of racial heirarchy or inferiority. He may be sexist, offensive and certainly not p.c., but racist is a stretch. I just don't think he knows any better.

She didn't have any idea that it was taboo, but calling her racist would be incorrect. He really isn’t racist. His comments do not speak to any sort of racial heirarchy or inferiority.
