I'm not saying I agree with calling this post racist. More that he was stupid to complain about nepotism and then expect it, even if the nepotism he wanted wasn't because of his brotherhood, but because of his skin color.
However, using the common/dictionary definition of racism in non-academic discussion is not indicative of one's understanding of racism. It's simply using the word with its actual meaning, not a constructed one. There are plenty of similar words and concepts that this can happen to, it's just annoying that people are expected to be "beyond" the actual definition of a word in discussions.
I would, however, laugh if the white man hired was also an Alpha. It would just be a nice little twist, IMO.
