The racist tree is racist. It hates black kids.

In the context eightbitsamurai used, he was just clarifying that the tree didn't accept the black child because it figured black kids aren't so bad, but because the white kids protested.

In some contexts, it would be tollerant for the tree to hold onto it's views, but Samer described that the tree dislikes black children enough to not give them apples. Maybe soon the tree realised that black kids are no different from the rest but at the time the tree was tollerating something it didn't like for the white children to come back.
