No. Abuse of facts can definitely be racist. But facts are simply facts. E.g. if someone claimed that police are sexist and pointed out that 90% of police killings are against men, and another responded that this matches the rate at which men commit violent crime that's a perfectly reasonable use of facts. Pointing to the fact that men commit crime at higher rates and saying they cannot be trusted in public society and that civil rights should be curbed is an abuse of facts. We can, and should, criticize the abuse of facts. But we should be sure we are criticizing the abuse not trying to deny the fact itself. I think many who do the latter are well-intentioned, but ultimately it's trying to deny reality.
