I think I understand what you are getting at, but IMO that is to stretch the definition of racism in an effort to highlight how distasteful or ignorant this behavior might be. I don't get the sense that these protesters were against any specific race of people, only that they have a cause and that it is misguided and intolerant.

There's no need to counter the protesters. IMO the MFA should have just kept the show running, and let the protest continue. Just because you have offended someone doesn't mean that you are doing something wrong or that you are obligated to respond.
