>No, I'm saying that having different rules for different races is racist, because it simply is

And I'm saying that there aren't separate rules but that the rules are more complicated than "if X race, then Y race". It's the same reason that you can't ignore advanced math simply because it's too complicated. History and context must be considered when making "rules". To assert otherwise is in conflict with proper logic.

There are separate rules, but the suggestion is that there should be.

As you said, history and context matter. Historically speaking, having different rules for different races is how our legal system became what it is today. You're making the same mistake, just going the other direction.

Creating legal priviledge defined by race; That's what you're unintentionally advocating for.

Or what I suspect: You and the rest do.

Nope. You've made assumptions. You have conflated the expected reaction to history with racism.
