Racism systemically prefers one race over another; not just on an individual occasion
Incorrect. What you’re referring to is called “systemic racism”, but “racism” alone has an entirely different, very simple definition: discrimination based on race, which is what this is. And it can absolutely be applied to individuals and to policies.
if an organization’s entire senior leadership of 10+ people were all black men, any diversity consulting would highlight that as being an issue as well.
Really? Do you really think that’s true? Do you think anyone would “highlight”, say, a professional basketball or football team that’s 90+% black as “problematic”?
You’re also disacknowledging the negative reinforcement that accompanies racism, where people are treated negatively a certain way based on no known information of them other than their race.
Wrong again, I explicitly acknowledged this already. It has no bearing on this conversation.
the people making these declarations have not been given valid assessments of their target’s performance on their job.
You don’t need to assess performance. The only thing you need to assess is the policies themselves. How they’re applied or what the resulting performance is is irrelevant to a conversation about whether or not they’re discriminatory.
