Even to this day, the suit is still based on allegations and his would hardly the first company to settle out of an issue. Rather then cause a fuss over something so idiotic. I've seen stories that put people claiming these same cases of discrimination, as living as far as several states away. So as another "not first" his company being targeted for easy money, is still nothing new.
So if a still, alleged story and his beef with a judge he's been butting heads with over the last few years is all you can come up with. Don't feel bad. Because this is about the best of seen from someone I've asked such a question of.
So answer the question. Does simply being a birther, make you a racist?
I'll answer your question. No, it does not.
It is used to take advantage of a political unanswered legal question that can be used against a particular type of political opponent regardless of their skin color.

Five other presidential “birther” controversies from American history
Currently, GOP front runner Donald Trump wants Cruz to legally prove that the Canadian-born Senator is qualified to run for the White House. Cruz has insisted that “the son of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural-born citizen.”
Article II, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution requires that “[n]o person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the Office of President.” Cruz was born in Canada in 1970, with his father being from Cuba and his mother coming from Delaware in the United States.
Recent thoughts from constitutional experts seem to side with Cruz’s argument, but not all experts agree – including Cruz’s own law professor from Harvard. Laurence Tribe recently told the Guardian in a series of email exchanges that “there is no single, settled answer. And our Supreme Court has never addressed the issue.”
1.Chester Alan Arthur
In 1880, Arthur ran as the vice presidential candidate on the James Garfield ticket for the Republican Party. Arthur became President after Garfield’s death in 1881 and there were rumors – spread by campaign rivals - that Arthur had been born in Canada, and not Vermont, as he claimed.
2. Charles Evans Hughes
There was also a birthplace controversy over the 1916 presidential candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican who narrowly lost to Woodrow Wilson.
3. Barry Goldwater
The 1964 Republican presidential candidate was born in the Arizona Territory in 1909 before Arizona was admitted as a state. Goldwater was born in an organized incorporated territory that was formed in 1863, an act that is interpreted to grant U.S. citizenship to folks born there.
4. George Romney
Democrats questioned Romney’s ability to run for President in 1967 when congressman Emmanuel Celler, a Democrat, publicly expressed “serious doubts” about Romney’s eligibility. A New York Law Journal article later sided with Romney, who insisted he was a natural-born citizen.
5. John McCain
Senator McCain faced questions in the 2008 election, since he was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936. His parents were born in Iowa and Oklahoma. McCain’s father was a Navy admiral.
In addition to having two parents who were American citizens, McCain was born in a region that was under the control of a United States treaty agreement, which was considered as a sovereign United States territory.
