The model would probably say certain forms of "bad English" (that would likely also include things like redneck or bro type language, as another commenter remarked, but that wasn't tested for some reason) make it more likely that the person in question is lazy or something like that. And that is a statistical claim which could be true. In which case it wouldn't be racist. So it is premature to call some probabilistic statements racist without even investigating whether they are correct.
