Antiracialism opposes racial categories while antiracism opposes imposed racial conditions.

Evidence

Antiracialism is to take a stand, instrumental or institutional, against a concept, a name, a category, a categorizing. It does not itself involve standing (up) against (a set of) conditions of being or living, as it is not always clear what those conditions might in fact be for which race is considered to stand as a sort of shorthand. … Antiracism, by contrast, conjures a stance against an imposed condition, or set of conditions, an explicit refusal or a living of one’s life in such a way one refuses the imposition, whether one is a member of the subjugated population or the subjugating one. It is an insistence that one not be reduced, at least not completely, to or by the implications marked by the imposition and constraint, by the devaluation and attendant humiliation. At the limit, antiracism is the risk of death, the willingness to forego life, perhaps at once the measure of the severity of the imposition, dislocation, and curtailment, and of the seriousness of the commitment. There clearly is no evidence of antiracialism ever commanding that sort of risk. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 84
