Unless the raccoon has rabies or some other disease they would normally avoid any contact with humans. If it is a raccoon that someone is attempting to keep as a pet, they (and any wild animal) will bite their keeper for almost any reason - attempting to hold them when they do not want to be held, trying to remove food or any other object from their grasp, startling them, trying to make them do something they do not want to do, etc. Wild animals should not be taken as pets. They will always be wild animals and react to perceived threats as any wild animal would.
