It seems quite clear that this chap Mohammed was just as racist as one woudl expect for a man living in 7th century Arabia. You need real linguistic gymnastics to suggest anything other than racism as being teh motive behind this comment. After all, didn't Mohammed also describe black muslims as having heads like raisins?

But don't judge him, he was just a man of his time. Paedophilia and slavery were common then, he probably had little choice but to engage in and condone both activities.

Other hadiths that appear to contradict this racism themselves suggest discrimnination shoudl be based on superstition (or lack thereof) rather than on colour. But it's still discrimination. There's much to learn about equality AFTER reading about islam.
