I reviewed this with another admin and we agree that this does not cross the threshold for racism. One reason is that the word "negatory" is a real word relating to the word "negative" with no racist meaning. The other reason is that "nega chin" appears to be a fictional cartoon character according to an internet search. I also do not see racist context around the usage of these words.
