I think you two are just talking past each other.

Hypothetical situation:

It is statistically proven that African-Americans are twenty percent more likely to be more involved in crime than Caucasians. An employer, familiar with this statistic, refuses to hire African-Americans.

According to Mike, this would be racism. According to Mike's understanding of K-dog's stated belief, this would not be racism. But it seems to me that, according to K-dog's stated belief, this would indeed be racism.

Am I right?
