I respectfully disagree that changing or repealing speech control legislation is racist or that deciding not to do it means the Govt is not racist.
(It seems particularly hyberbolic if the Govt has changed "it's mind" due to the belief that it will otherwise lose more votes than they will gain.
Unless, unlike me, you define "racist"-not-followed-by-a-noun as racist action including speech rather than racist thought.)

Funny how many of the advocates for laws against racial or ethnic vilification breech their own rules when it comes to Philistines ...  ;~)
