No. Jainism is not racist in its core teachings.

Jain Dharma teaches that all living beings have a soul and are worthy of compassion, nonviolence, and respect. The central Jain values—ahimsa, satya, aparigraha, and anekantavada—do not support racial hatred or superiority.

However, like many ancient communities, some Jain social groups in history may have shown social or caste-based bias in practice. That is a human social issue, not the spiritual teaching of Jainism itself.

So, in essence:

• Jain philosophy: not racist
• Some historical social behavior by people: may have reflected prejudice

The true Jain view is to see the same soul in every being and treat all with equality and compassion.
