This seems likely to backfire for Yelp. Focusing on positively noting businesses that are explicitly non- (or anti-) racist, akin to the Green Book[0], and letting users filter for that, as they are doing with their Open For All® effort, is more likely to produce positive change.
Racism-specific alerts are probably going to exacerbate the problem they call "media-driven" reviews and feedback, despite their mitigation efforts.
