Here's the entire transcript that has that quote.

Rush Limbaugh’s “NFL… Bloods and the Crips…” Quote in FULL Context « AmeriCAN-DO Attitude

I can see how it was interpreted it that way. But for it to be racist, you have to take the assumption that white people are not allowed to comment on traditionally black gangs, or make any references to behavior by blacks that is critical.

Actually in my definition to be racist, you have to feel that one race is genetically inferior to another. Otherwise, you're just critiquing modern cultural phenomena.

So, If your definition is that whites can't critique blacks, and make comparisons like that, and you conclude that it means they think white people are genetically superior to blacks (DNA?), then in your eyes, it would count as a racist comment.
