what you described is just data driven business decision. Not really anything to do with racist.
if we follow your logic, then are they also ageist? sexist?
racist is when despite the data showing that certain profile is better, but decide to go against it, just because the profile is of certain race, due to personal racial preference.
that's not what you described here.
Yes, Currently decision making in many companies especially MNCs are more data driven.
Big data is available for data analyst to find correlation between various factors and the borrowing risk, probably race is just one of the factors that could be correlated to the borrowing risk.
Banks are doing business, they are always targeting max profit with lowest risk. there is no reason for them to go against certain races if the data shows their risk is low
