Would racism be important if race didn't correlate with socioeconomic status?

I think the case of antisemitism makes the answer obvious.
As for the OP, I think this girl's actions were more insensitive and immature than racist. She was trying to get a laugh out of her friends by doing something outrageous, and didn't care how you would feel about it. Of course it's always possible she holds truly racist beliefs as well, but we don't know.
