You seem to be operating under the assumption that the author wants to convey a prejudiced message. I always have the hope that they do not want to be racist, sexist, etc and simply don't realize the message they're sending. And, I have to admit, 95% of the time, when I call someone out on racist behavior, the first words out of their mouths are, "I'm not racist!" so it seems pretty clear that they weren't trying to extend racial hegemony with their behavior, they just were doing so.
