I don't think he is saying that an inability to differentiate between foreign languages is racist, but rather that given a random shithead who holds truly racist beliefs, it is unlikely they will be able to recognize differences between Asian languages.

To put it more generically, most people in Set A exhibit Trait B, but having Trait B alone does not mean you are a member of Set A.
