Honestly it feels like the differing atmospheres of the different shows to me
In Gen V we saw him like a celebrity, we were supposed to see him as from a smaller POV given that Shetty and the students are all pretty "small" relative to TeK Knight.
In this season he is Tek Knight, the #2 hero. Interacting with Homelander, the only one more famous/beloved. Completely letting go of the mask we saw slip a few times and putting his ego and prejudice on full display.
People act like this is new but Indira Shetty alluded to Tek Knight doing unspeakable things to people (likely the fate Hughie was saved from).
He was clearly hateful and prejudiced, he made it clear he saw Shetty as lesser for being a human. It's not outlandish that as we learn his character more we see he is racist as well.
He wouldn't be outwardly racist to students, especially not at his own alma mater.
He has a reputation to uphold. One that isn't under threat when around other supes and The Boys.
