Yes. It locates "race" not in laws and practices but in the moral/psychological realm. Then, white people are supposed to renounce their privilege, as if that can be done in any meaningful sense. And then that gets into the whole discourse around "privilege," which is popular today among younger radicals - again, relocating something material into the mental realm.
