It could be racist, for example if you believe you will get worse care because you believe the (some race) medical staff are inherently racist to your race.

If they expressed a belief that people of other races were inherently racist, then that would be a negative stereotype of that race and would be racist.
But no such belief was expressed in the article. They only said "No one was listening to us, and I can’t prove it, but I really feel in my heart: if Jahi was a little white girl, I feel we would have gotten a little more help and attention."
There's nothing in that statement expressing a view that the hospital staff was inherently racist because of the hospital staff's race.

What did they mean here then: "if Jahi was a little white girl, I feel we would have gotten a little more help and attention."
"White girl" seems to be a differentiating factor in their opinion, does whiteness not have anything to do with racism?
