When a demographic is minimized, trivialized or insulted, and one means used of insulting that demographic is through racially charged insults, it is, by its very definition, racism.

"These girls are too young to know better..."
Being too young, to stupid, to poor, or too vapid to know better is not an excuse; rather, it is simply another problem (in addition to racism) they will have grow out of or accept the consequences for.
