> soft “skills” like charisma, rapport, etc, which are much more about social identity than social ability, and in particular discriminate against nonwhites, women, and many LGBT people

That sounds plenty racist to me*

* two can play this game

Stating which demographics beyond race the commenter believes is being significantly discriminated against is not racist. This is not discrimination against white people. It is not false either - lgbtq people have a higher chance of suicide, there's a signriciant wage gap between men and women across fields and industries, employers can also be racist. If you are uncertain of these well known facts, I have nothing to say.

Two can play a game indeed if both know what they're doing.
