The word 'dog' can be very offensive when applied to people. The Jews at that time did refer to Gentiles as dogs sometimes. Jesus used it in the context of domestic pets, so less offensive.
Was Jesus racist as in 'hater of other races' ? No, IMO.
Would Jesus have been judged as racist for what he said by the pc brigade today? Yes, IMO. The pc brigade falsely judge people a lot, and that is against the teaching of Jesus.
