In the passage Matthew 15:22-28, Jesus was being racist. When the woman, a Gentile, sought his help, he answered (15:24) that he was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. She came and worshipped him, but still he said in verse 26, "It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to the dogs[Gentiles]". In the most insulting way, he was saying that the sustenance he had to offer was not for Gentiles.

When she humbly accepted his description, he finally agreed to help and the gospel says that her daughter was cured that very hour.
