Certainly it must be intended as either a racial or sexist comment. It is possible of course that the person making that statement may not be a racist, someone who is not racist can make racist statements (and someone who is not sexist can make sexist statements)... the person may have reconsidered their opinion, have mispoken, and so on. But if as I gather the person who said this is a judge that raises some very serious questions. It should be possible to apply the law without taking into account personal prejudice, but all human beings are fallible in this regard.
