> I’ve never met anyone who claims racism doesn’t exist.
The anti-affirmative action argument doesn't say that racism doesn't exist. The argument against affirmative action is that society should aim for equal opportunity rather than equal outcome.

One could argue about the intention of affirmative action, but I don’t think one could argue that it’s not racist, using the dictionary’s definition of racism.
As is often the case, the dictionary gives multiple definitions.

You're using definition number 2, the person you were responding to was maybe using definition number 3.
(Although we get it, your point still stands.)
What I was trying to say, without saying it, is that rasism is not what the cultural Marxist are trying to sell - “power + privilege”.
