> ”racist" seems to fail the Occam test here

The word has lost meaning due to semantic overinclusivity.

By the Civil Rights era definitions, the process is racist. The people may not be. The process explicitly favours Indians. This isn’t some statistical mumbo-jumbo anti-racism construct, it’s the clear intent of the people involved and a clear effect of their actions.

What we can’t conclude from this is if the people involved think Indians are superior (versus just familiar).
