So racism is OK, depending on what race you are?

Context is important. For example, I have laughed at the following quote - I even had a bookmark similar to it once:

“Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Fortunately, this is not difficult.” Charlotte Whitton

I’m not anti-man, but as a woman, I’ve seen men favored in the past, and seen them not so much now. Where I work, we are judged on our abilities, and consequently have a lot of different backgrounds, but women still get the above comment - and most women will chuckle at it - especially women closer to my age.

I think there is both a Hispanic and a gender context to the remark everyone is on about, and I think it is silly to assume anything ominous based on it. Literally thousands of women have said similar things.
