No, disparity does not imply discrimination

Ibram X. Kendi, the prominent (and deeply mistaken) author of ‘How to Be An Antiracist’ recently wrote an op-ed in Politico about the need to pass an antiracist constitutional amendment. Kendi claims that racial inequity is ipso facto evidence of racist policy and the different racial groups being equal should reflect itself in statistics (I’m assuming he means nearly all). His plan includes a permanent ‘Department of Anti-racism’ comprised of formally trained experts on racism and would monitor racist ideas by public officials.
