I don't think it makes them racist....I'm not so sure it's an example of racism, either. I think it's someone saying, "I'm more comfortable with this". I agree that there wasn't a lot of deep reflection, issue-recognizing, discussion and evaluation going on, but not everyone is analytic or introspective.
What I would probably take more issue with is the backing out of a match they had already committed to. I, personally, would probably not do that. Yet, in the long run, far better to back out than to raise a child with the constant "what if I didn't have to deal with race" in the back of your mind.....
