Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

IQ tests are not a measurement of anything besides ability to do a very culturally specific set of problems.Not only this, but black Americans have on average less advantages in life than white Americans.
Take these two things together and of course you come to the conclusion that Black people will do worse. It doesn't really mean anything in and of itself.
As for the particular writer you've quoted please take a look at this definition of racism (the first listed at dictionary.com) and compare it to what the article says:
"a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."
