Oh right, so Wikipedia is to be the judge, is it?

Carlson has been accused by Erik Wemple of The Washington Post and by writers for Vox of demonizing immigrants
...
Terry Smith, law professor at St. Thomas University, has characterized Carlson's rhetoric as an example of white identity politics.
...
According to University of Michigan professor Alexandra Stern, Carlson propagates demographic fear.
...
In 2018, Carlson suggested that mass immigration makes the United States "dirtier", "poorer" and "more divided."
...
In December 2019, he falsely claimed that immigrants were responsible for making the Potomac River "dirtier and dirtier."
...
Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center said that "Carlson probably has been the No. 1 commentator mainstreaming bedrock principles of white nationalism in [the U.S.]," and accused him of promoting the white genocide conspiracy theory, the idea that white people are under attack by minorities and immigrants.
...
Carlson has described "white supremacy" as a "hoax", something that is "actually not a real problem in America"
...
Critics have accused Carlson's show of promoting racism
...
Neoconservative pundit Bill Kristol described the views Carlson expressed on his show with these words, "I don’t know if it’s racism exactly — but ethno-nationalism of some kind, let’s call it."
...
In June 2020, Carlson cast doubts on the intentions of Black Lives Matter protestors in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, stating: "This may be a lot of things, this moment we're living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will."
...
Days after the 2019 El Paso shooting, which was committed by a man who released an anti-immigrant manifesto complaining of a "Hispanic invasion," Carlson described white supremacy as a "hoax" and "a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power." He asked rhetorically, "the combined membership of every white supremacist group in America — would they be able to fit inside a college football stadium?"[167][168][169] According to The Washington Post, "Carlson's argument is belied by many experts and seemingly contradicted by a recent wave of deadly attacks by men motivated by those views."[170]
So according to your own argument, there are reasonable grounds to consider Tucker Carlson a racist who is at least providing cover and justification to white supremacists.
