Racism is an attitude of the mind and heart - good luck to any political body that tries to divine these things!
Unless the character is represented as inferior - inferior because of the colour of his skin - I don't see how mentioning him can be deemed racist. If that be the case then we had better throw out all racial and national identifiers entirely. Of course doing this will not get rid of racist attitudes, but it might eliminate some of the foolish arguments. :)
