I can point you towards many racist political figures throughout history who weren't fascist. Racist is not the same as fascist. Sure, fascism usually requires creating an in group and an out group, but it's also a lot more than that and needs to be larger than one person. Even if this person is a fascist, it still doesn't even mean anything. He doesn't have the political power to do anything fascist with.
