I wouldn't call it racist, but I do agree that it's not his best. Heinlein went for a cheap shock of cannibalism rather than trying to do a real social commentary on our times.
But in his defense, we don't know if he developed that part of the story by himself, or if he was pushed into it by his editor. I think it was the latter.
