This comment is exactly the problem. The rhetorical trolling and motte and bailey tactics.

"Anti-racist" is a term associated with extremist identity politics progressives which views all things through the lens of race and gives race primacy in all decisions. Many non-racist people see the anti-racists as being just the mirror image of the racists.

Racism is bad. Being non-racist is good. Declaring your organization to have "anti-racism" as a core focus puts it in the partisan, progressive or "woke" category.

They could say they don't tolerate racism or that they include everyone or they don't discriminate and that would be non partisan and uncontroversial.
