It's not inherently racist. You definitely have to read into it. The people that think it's blatantly racist believe that from they're own subjectivity.
Art can easily be misinterpreted, which in a way is the beauty of it....similar to when metaphors are used in writing...often times the point is to leave it up to the individual to interpret it and get their own meaning from it. This may not apply as much to a comic strip, but the bottom line is this could have easily been created without the artist seeing the racial connection.
