If the policy is to look at race and give/take points, that's racism in the most literal way possible.
If the policy is to look at SES, it's not racist, even though there's a correlation.
At some point correlations become strong enough that it's difficult to disentangle concepts, but I don't think this is an example of that. In particular: would giving points based on SES have screwed Asians in the way that trying to balance races did? Probably not. It's a better formulation of the problem.
