Yes, it would. Whether the allegation is true or not has nothing to do with whether it's racist or not. If you accuse me of making calls against your team because of the color of their skin, that's a racist remark, allegation, has racial overtones, whatever you want to call it.

Do you think the coach would have called him a bigot if he had been black?
