The person wouldn't be purposely racist but they have a worry about the person in question and the safety of the place (bad example I know).
Hitler was racist. I think Jade (sorry to bring it up) was a bully, but not racist.
So in full, I do not think Arron is racist, he may have a slight prejudice against Deana (but not from where she's from, more because of her Queen like appearance that she have off maybe in launch night?). Also, I don't think they are BULLYING her, but they are PICKING on her. Slightly different.
Picking on someone gives the person a freedom or the slight courage to bite back, being bullied makes victims feel petrified of fighting back.

Well I don't think anyone is born inherently racist, if someone is being unintentionally prejudice I agree that it's not the same thing as someone who consciously discriminates based on race but I still would consider them both to be racism, it'd just be that the former was more based on institutional and societal prejudices as opposed to any malicious intent on their part
I'm still catching up on last nights episode but I haven't seen anything to say Arron or Conor would hold any prejudiced to Deana based on race, I think it's perfectly feasible that they just don't like her or maybe find her a bit up herself.
