No, it isn't racism. It's silly to make fun of Canada, but not all Canadians are of the same race, so it can't be classified as racism. Stupidy? Sure. Other than that, don't know what else to say.
race

a : an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group
b : BREED
c : a division of mankind possessing traits that are transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize it as a distinct human type

race dosent have to do with the color of your skin but what group you fall into. since he was putting you into a group and making fun or insulting you because your in that group. yes it was racist to say that stuff.
