If someone is making decisions based upon race unless it is required for medical reasons, or to represent history, or an established story then it is racism. It doesn't matter what color, what race.
For me picking a race is largely like rolling a dice UNLESS I say I am coming from a specific region as part of my story. Unfortunate for these diversity nuts they ignore how gene pools and and generations work out. You don't end up with a big multi-color diverse crowd. You end up with a pool of people with similar traits... regardless of how they may have started out generations ago.
