Making those kind of accusations are quite serious and should not be made to taint the jury pool and audience.

They didn't call Christmas racist though, at least I don't believe, I think that falls mostly with Twitter.
Both Bay and Day were entirely correct in their assessment though.
Had Bay clapped like Christmas, Bay would have come off as "ghetto" like she said.
Had Day stuck around instead getting into a yelling match instead of walking away she would have come across as the stereotypical angry Black woman that she believes she did in previous seasons.
Neither of them were wrong. And they were right that Christmas (and all the other non-minority houseguests) are able to yell and fight without the worry that they will be portrayed as perpetuating stereotypes or having to represent an entire race. Is it white privilege but it doesn't necessarily mean Christmas was about to put on her KKK robe.
