It depends how you define "racism". The author appears to define it as "difference in outcome": do all races have exactly the same income, if not, then it's a racist system. But another definition, the dictionary one, is active prejudice and/or discrimination based on race. By definition in the author's example, it is not racist, since it is 100% colorblind. To me it seems the latter definition is the more relevant one. But of course, there is plenty of room to debate this. The author doesn't even start to get into that, sadly - there is no argument, just the consequences of one definition.
