I don't think fetishising itself is racist because a lot of people do it without realising but to further dehumanise them by referring to them as "little ****** boys" in a condescending tone, to me you've stepped on racist territory. I also brought up fetishising just to let people know that just because someone has a sexual preference for a race doesn't exempt them from holding racist believes
