That really deflates the meaning of racism. She was having a conversation defending Black Lives Matter and looked at a Black person (for support? for reassurance? who knows).
Even if she outright asked him "Can you explain this better than me?" because he's Black, she's asked him because it's an issue that more or less directly impacts him a lot more than it does her, so a valid assumption is that he would know more. At absolute worst, it's positive stereotype.
It's not even
kinda racist.
