Is "Uncle Tom" racist/derogatory?

Is "Uncle Tom" racist/derogatory?

I was in a conversation on a different platform when someone used the term "Uncle Toms" to describe minorities that voted for Republicans. Believing that this was a derogatory term to use against minorities, I asked them why they would call them that. They basically said the term wasn't derogatory. What do people think? Is this term racist, derogatory, or not?

The term itself is not racist anymore unless that is the intent of the speaker...
