Is this hate speech?

The current story arc for the Dilbert comics I enjoy reading seems to me to be relevant to our current reading. Click on the images to see them full size.

Here is the cartoon for Monday (2016, December 12):
Cartoonist Says Something Bad On Social Media Real.

And for Tuesday (2016, December 13):
Asok Agrees to Be Hitman. Retrieved from http://dilbert.com/strip/2016-12-13

Is there racism in the second cartoon? Does the first one show hate speech?

    For the cartoon on Monday December 12, it isn't a hate speech as the speaker just gave his idea on what was being said while not labeled the person.

    The second cartoon (on Dec. 13) does not illustrate racism because there are not any words discriminating on races though it tries to make joke on the agreement of the colored man who made a denial of the first speaker's the statement at the first time.
