for reference:
She's blonde,She's blonde,Comes along the sidewalk.
She's Blonde,Leave a trail of blue and black,Up to you fighting back.
She's Blonde,Steel chains,A noose of charms on our necks.
I find out nothing when we talk and sit,Blue heart passion and watch the set.
Easy to fall, when part of your skull starts to break away,Cheaters walk, down the block behind this evil street.
She's a white girl well I'm living with a white girl,She's a white girl well I'm living with a white girl-
Nineteen,Nineteen.. losing her man to an old girl.
Nineteen,Drain every beer left over at home,and listen to ghosts in the other room.
I Can't!Why not? You're alone inside his keeping.
Oh I'll replace your drunk old man,Sit in the parking lot and hold your hand.
Easy to fall, when part of your skull starts to break away...Drugged and in love out at a club pulling me outside.
She's a white girl, well I'm living with a white girl,She's a white girl, well I'm living with a white girl-
Easy to fall, when part of your skull starts to break away...drugged and in love out at a club pulling me outside.
She's a white girl well I'm living with a white girl,She's a white girl well I'm living with a white girl
having just finished re-reading We Got the Neutron Bomb my guess is this song is about the young lady that Exene moved out to California with, who was by all accounts something of a bitch who would pull white-supremacist provacateur type stuff to get a rise out of people.

Not racist. Someone else could make the argument for exploitative, but it's a stretch to say that the Kings of Leon have any hatred or intolerance toward black people.
Now apologize for making me watch a Kings of Leon video for two minutes.

Yeah, I guess exploitative and colonialist (is that the right word?) more than captial-R RACIST, but still like; who does a video treatment that;'s like "OK, you're hugging black kids for four minutes"

i think it's hard to call a music video 'exploitative' -- what are they exploiting these kids for? no one watches music videos. they have no impact, unless you're lady gaga
colonialist maybe, but remember that KOL are the most popular band in europe

Of course anti-semitism is racism. It's just that racism against Jews has acquired a term of its own, probably because discriminating them has been so prominent historically.
Where it gets tricky is when anti-Israel or anti-Zionist statements are equated with anti-semitism; of course some anti-Israel/anti-Zionist people are also anti-semitists/racists, but many of them aren't. But your case is pretty obviously racist because the target is Jews as a whole, not Israeli politics or anything.

Ca. 300 Finnish Jews fought in the War alongside the German Army[3][4]. The field synagogue operated by the Finnish army was probably a unique phenomenon in Europe.
