I don't agree with your definition of "racism" here. If it's racially discriminatory in effect, by my reckoning, it's racist, even if no actor has racist intent.

In the question of hiring, what I most favor is measures to reward the hiring of a diverse workforce as a countervailing force to structural forces that lead to racist outcomes. I feel this would work better than trying to impose some method of hiring. This is not really that different from Affirmative Action, which of course does not actually prescribe that minority candidates most always be selected.
