I believe racism is looking upon someone else and believing them to be different - blessed or cursed (advantaged or disadvantaged) for no other reason but their race. It seems to me that the Book of Mormon does support the idea that an entire culture can be blessed or cursed (spiritually advantaged or disadvantaged) through traditions, beliefs and practices. Never-the-less individuals can turn away from such beliefs, traditions and practices through repentance and become covenant heirs of all divine blessings. I think you are correct that in the eyes of the world - building a society on covenants with G-d and thinking such covenants are and advantage is somewhat racist. But by rejecting such thinking to believe to be an advantage better than our belief and culture - by their own definition is also racist.
