What's your definition of racism and sexism? That's ultimately the starting point of the argument.
For example, if you think racism is the belief that one race is superior to another, then affirmative action doesn't qualify as racist. If you consider that racism consist in simply separating populations in ethnic groups for any purpose, then many artistic representations would fit the bill.

Given the history of our country it's sad you would "go there"
But to the OP....teaching directly and indirectly that only Europeans therefore "whites" have positively impacted western society. I mean to ram down our throats that ancient Egyptians were "white" is just all kind of messed up.
Denying blacks mortgages in the early days of 'suburban" homes. When I get home I will detailed this practice and explain how thousands of black families were denied these low cost opportunities which later turned into "gold mines" for the families that were able to acquire these homes and thereby establish for generations wealth and future prosperity.
The fact that we have to have rules and regulations to "favor specific genders and or "races" should be telling enough.
I'm totally going to do this to get into dental school:
