Was he RACIST?

When Linnaeus did his pioneering work on the naming and classification of living organisms, he divided Homo sapiens in for varieties, so Was Linnaeus racist , in his division of humans into four varieties or in his description of these varieties?

I think yes, because he divides that people by stereo-typing them,  ''Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination. In the modern English language, the term "racism" is used predominantly as a pejorative epithet. It is applied especially to the practice or advocacy of racial discrimination of a pernicious nature (i.e. which harms particular groups of people), and which is often justified by recourse to racial stereotyping or pseudo science.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism, Linnaeus divides humans into 4 groups by looking their appereance and race, he doesn't look who are them, are they female or male, nothing different then their race so it's because I think he is racist.
