There is no such thing as race. That's what makes this entire affair so frustrating; merely believing that races exist is racist.
If you can show me a society that is racist but that nonetheless ensures equal rights for all races, then I'll retract the point. However, from what I've seen, every government which thinks that race is real has enacted racist policies, so I think that the burden of proof will be hard to meet. CIMO, caste, aboriginals, reservations, blood quanta, and more; governments enshrine whatever hateful bigotry their people demand.
It is worth pointing out that, even if race did not exist, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also bans discrimination based on national origin. This covers Central American foreign nationals being neglected and experimented on in our concentration camps; it covers Indian-Americans being rejected for jobs because of the caste of their last name; it even covers African-Americans being pulled over for driving-while-black. Ultimately, most racist practices are netted by the national-origin clause and the concept of race does not need to be invoked.
