He wasn't comparing the two just because he referred to her bleeding from the mouth
like Bayleigh, he was moreso contrasting the two in his comments. They were imagining what she's like outside the show and he acknowledged she was was quiet in the house so he imagined her
basically being the opposite: like Bayleigh when she's watching the show at home now. It's like a funny thing to picture... like something you wouldn't expect to see from someone who's quiet. You can assume there's racist connotations or bias or something there but it was Bayleigh's behavior being the opposite as Kemi's that was the key there. Just because their skin color is the same doesn't automatically mean anything.
The context was very clearly light-hearted (not mean-spirited, not in a negative tone, not demeaning her) regardless of what you think of it involving race anyway.
