People who wish to organize for racist ideology behind this doctrine while proclaiming they are not racists merely place themselves in the old racist camp. Their organizing for (and their denials of) racist ideology does not make them less racist, just less honest.
I agree that separatism smells of true racism. Perhaps it's no use trying to adhere to the original interpretation of the term racism, since it has broadened with time to include everyone who is not a strong supporter of affirmative action and such. But debatings would gain from a strict definition of racism: Believing that races are significantly genetically different visavi intelligence or moral standards. I regard myself as not the slightest racist (if a Bantu is adopted into Swedish culture as an infant he becomes a Swede, regardless of skin colour) but a bit of a _culturist_: Believing that all cultures are _not_ equal in terms of collective intellectual inheritage and moral standards. Currently, the politically correct refuse to distinguish between racism and culturism, thus confusing a lot of issues.
