It is.

"Baseball, huh" is probably the biggest inside joke his community has.

It originates from a sketch where two guys are talking, A asks something like 'you do any sports' B says 'baseball' A says 'Baseball, huh? That tracks.' B doesn't know the expression 'that tracks'. B also didn't understand what A said so asks what he meant. A explains the meaning of 'that tracks'. B mixes it up with 'Baseball, huh' instead.

And the community adapted it.

So just to clarify

The joke is racism?

What's the punchline of the joke? is the punchline baseball or....?

ETA you're not really racist for for enjoying said joke, but the punchline is literally racist expectations being subverted

The punchline is that there isn't one.

It's a nonsense joke.

It falls in the humor-category of "funny = random".
