it depends at what you define as racism....
making fun of someone name isnt necessarily racist.
Saying people of a certain group are dumb, stupid, lazy or greedy is racism.
If someone called me JOJO! Would I jump out shout racist?
As for the kung Fu thing.... Alot of asians are trained in martial arts at a young age and it just a staple mark of being Asian.
It would be the same as an american trying to mock a canadian saying "eh" alot.It doesnt mean the american is racist agaist canadians.Nore does it mean that Shaq is racist either.
If he shouted out "dumb Rice head" or somthing it would be pretty evident to what his motives were.
What does his height have to do with anything? Shaq mocked the man, saying things like "ching chong ching!" and doing mock kung fu moves. If you think that's alright then you've got a bit of bigotry in yourself.
