Thats one guy and it appears his intent isn't racist.

As Brumar pointed out, its just one guy. I'm sure you can find a few others, but that's no argument against my point. "The racism manifested is rather small. And in at least a few cases was by infiltrators, not by people sharing the tea party ideas of freedom, limited government, reduced spending, and more fiscal discipline as their central concerns." Racism is essentially almost a non-issue, at least as much as it is such in any major political movement. The exact mix of issues changes slightly (the movement is not a well defined disciplined movement, but mostly a diverse grass roots effort), but its focused on tax and spending issues, and more generally on issues of government control.
