I mean, if you're saying the exact same thing White Supremacists say, in the exact same context, to the exact same type of people, how could it be interpreted as anything but racist? In the United States for a long, long time 'Go back to Africa' has been used by racists as an attack on black people for various reasons, but mostly as a retort to black people calling out the unfairness of racism in America.
Donald Trump is someone who has been sued by HUD not once, but twice for racially discriminating against tenants. He was forced to settle both times. He's the guy who called for executions for the Central Park Five and to this day has never recanted even though they were proven innocent. He's the same person who was out there pushing the birther conspiracy for the first black president. He's said that a judge of Mexican descent (who was born in the US) can't be impartial to Trump. And on, and on, and on.
No need to overthink it, what he said was racist. He is racist.
Have you taken into account that Trump has a lot of black friends? Cause that makes a difference, ya know.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
