I saw on the tv news recently about some topic where government documents were redacted for press, censuring certain name with black rectangles. Is using white paper and black text, black redaction to hide the words inherently racist?

Go and tell that to in all former soviet central asian republics, to the people of native ethnicities there. I'm pretty sure most of them consider themselves asian, in the same way chinese consider themselves asian and not white. Some countries there lost considerable amounts of cultural heritage thanks to this kind of thinking. Stalin forcefully relocated thousands of people across the USSR, millions of families suffered terribly. But even if someone is eurasian, this doesn't mean that they will have "a half of white privilege", this concept doesn't exist in reality.
