Yeah my saying he might be a racist had less to do with the comment than him in general (although let me be clear I have no actual evidence to suggest he's actually racist).
Personally I find the comment rather inconsequential when taken in context, like you said he was tortured for 5 1/2 years I would expect him to harbor some pretty angry feelings. Although it still isn't a word someone should be saying in any case regardless of context.
