No, he was suggesting a definition of racism that called anti-racist affirmative action as "not racist", and attempts to undermine affirmative action as "racist". That seems rather specialised to me, and at best a convolution on top of the sociological definition you linked to. Also, most modern academic work != a wikipedia link, do you have any other sources?

"called anti-racist affirmative action as "not racist", and attempts to undermine affirmative action as "racist""
Policies that acknowledge and address systemic racism are not "racist" because they acknowledge race and make decisions based on these imbalances.
