That's not unique to Dahmer, and Dahmer's victim choices also have zilch to do with Lecter, who doesn't exhibit racist tendencies in the series.

So, no, it's not a matter of racism, and it's extreme overreach to associate Lecter with it in this case. He has plenty of awful traits that do overlap TSFs, but not this one.
