How is this racism? It's a complaint about alleged racism and a pun on corporate "Identifies as black" DEI events. He is not saying anything negative about asian candidate or black character.

Reads more like it makes fun of trans people to me.

It mocks diversity policies by presenting race as arbitrary and surface-level, rather than some deeply unchangeable thing that pervades every aspect of your being. Since diversity policies are a way to push back against judging people differently based on race (aka racism), mocking them is inherently supportive of racism.

And as the other commenter says, it also mocks trans people. By applying their language to something presented as arbitrary and surface-level.

Maybe this is a generational thing, but that first sentence is nonsensical to me. DEI wants to enshrine race differences, so mocking DEI is… racist?

Modern diversity policies are inherently mockable because they refuse to make a firm intellectual stance. Corporations have DEI events for "employees that identify as Black+", implying exactly that race is arbitrary and surface level. It's possible to take an intellectually consistent stance about the extent of race/gender/biological sex differences and formulate a positive goal statement. Like "we choose to not focus on differences and treat everyone the same" or "we acknowledge that differences exist, need to be accommodated for everyone to thrive and sometimes statistical outcomes will be different regardless". But not changing claimed facts minute by minute based on mood of the moment.

We have mocking police now? Police who enforce who can be mocked and who cannot?

How can I get on this list of superior humans who are above mocking, satire, parody and, ultimately, criticism?
