Maybe they mean "calling scientific method a form of racism?" Just a thought.

I think they mean demanding the elimination of peer review.

There is a movement afoot to eliminate the practice because if it is done the way intended, the bar is too high.

The bar probably is too high, but that's not necessarily a problem. Rather that's the point.

I agree, that particular movement does have at its root an assault on science.

Should go on peer review, and demand replication of results before accepting a paper's findings, in an ideal world.

I could imagine some people not liking research into several kinds of weapons, artificial intelligence, or research that requires animal testing.
