"Racially-tinged" has become widely mocked as a journalese circumlocution for simply "racist", so it's interesting that "race-conscious" still gets a pass. 
My third grade teacher explained racism to us as "people shouldn't be treated differently based on the color of their skin", which I thought made a lot of sense. I don't know if the current definition of racism, full as it is of epicycles, is explainable at all to a third grader.
The extremely fast-changing structure of taboos and correct lines of thinking around race has become its own highly effective form of elite gatekeeping. It takes years to master and part of the conceit is that all the complexity should be obvious to any right-thinking person
If you believe the one hypostasis of Christ is both divine and human then you are correct, but if you assert the monophysite homoousion of the Divine nature while denying its hypostasic consubstantiality, then you are evil. And asking questions about it is a sign of bad faith.
Personally I'd get a kick out of a Harvard that just admitted off of a very difficult entrance exam and had maybe three American-born students in every incoming class.
