I could see how it might be taken as racist simply because there is really no other reason to use it (I am sure it's not for aids awareness month like was stated), but I think it is a stretch to make a big deal out of it and delete it. To me it's more like now we know what this guy is all about.
I also see the side where this could have been handled differently by the OP. Nothing ever gets handled this way.
