Ah, but there is something that can be done. When one is made aware of their unconscious biases, they can make conscious decisions to counteract them.

The point is not to label people as racist, but thoughts, beliefs, and actions as racist.

I think you're missing my point, which is that without an objective way to identify "racism", it becomes an exercise in exerting power more than an impartial pursuit of fairness and equality.
