With respect, you should probably see if the people who are the *targets*
of racism agree with you on this.
In my experience, most will not, and would prefer that racism be explicitly
addressed. But again, this is really best weighed in on by the people
directly affected the most, which I am not.

In the culture I'm most familiar with, to say "there is no such thing as

I think this logic is flawed.
A thing that dosn't exist can not be used for anything - even with humans
in existance who choose to believe otherwise.
Looking at the topic of perpetual motion machines should make this quite
obvious, stating that these dont't exist does in no way imply that there
are no misguided humans who believe otherwise. The exact same applies to
"there is no such thing as race".
Stating discrimination based on 'race' being possible implies that 'race'
exists, effectively bootstrapping a false idea into existance.
