I come here for the benefits
I worked with a guy who was half Iraqi. His name is Wahab, but he goes by the name of Dave. He came to the UK as a teenager, became an officer in the merchant navy, and when I met him he was working in IT. One day he let on that he had been on some kind of black ops thing in Iraq with the Gurkhas, but he didn't make a big deal out of it.

In short, a good bloke.

He lives in a small town in East Yorkshire.

He told me he was in the pub with a number of friends in said town, when some racist bloke came up to him and said "What are you doing in a small town in East Yorkshire?"
Dave put on his worst accent, and said "Well, I just come over from Calais. I come here for the benefits, you know?"
Racist bloke gets angrier.
"I only been here one week... and they give me council house."
Racist bloke gets even angrier.
"Is big house! Is good, because next month my four wives and fifteen children come."
Racist bloke explodes. Dave's friends all laugh at him.

What exactly made this bloke racist?
You did not explain what was racist about him: merely described him as such before he even approached Dave in the pub.

With regards to getting angry about the wind-up: maybe he was silly to fall for it, but let's suppose the wind-up was the truth. Then an angry reaction would not be "racism" (i.e treating a person worse than you otherwise would because of the colour of their skin or ethnic background) - but merely legitimate anger about any person (of whatever background) getting given freebies that the rest of us have to pay for.

I'd say that asking
"What are you doing in a small town in East Yorkshire?", asssuming they didn't know each other, would require the bloke to have judged Dave, based on the colour of his skin, to not be local.

IE, racism.

Yeah, that.

What with Dave having paid tax and National Insurance in the UK for the previous 30 years.

P.S.
Dave told me he got beaten up by the locals when he was at Sailor School (or whatever it was) for being the only Iraqi in Great Yarmouth.
