I'm not sure what you mean, what is "they are racist"?
I am saying those 2 quotes you presented are the ADL definitions of racism and they are the definition we should use. Not sure if that is what you mean.

Again, I don't know. Is there already a preference for more Chinese and Indian immigrants as opposed to immigrants that are not of Chinese or Indian descent? Are we less likely to bring in better educated more wealthy people from backgrounds compared to those of Chinese and Indian backgrounds? Are we doing this with intent? Are we operating under the myth of the model minority?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, by ADL definition and context, the answer would be yes.

I don't think so. The merit-based criteria doesn't talk about race. They are based on:

In this selection system, applicants would be allotted points for:youth
having a valuable skill
having an offer of employment
having an advanced degree
planning to create jobs
earning higher wages.
