I would much rather see better tagging for everything *including* fantasies that are racist than arguing that one kink is okay because it's understood not to be real.

Yes, this. Though I think for that to work there needs to be more awareness of racism and racist tropes we enjoy in fiction, much like the rape warning diversified into the current crop of various, dubcon, non-con, consent-issues, enthusiastic consent tags as awareness of this has risen.

The problem is that just as the romcom writer often isn't realizing that the thing might need the "stalking" tag the fic writer might not realize their work needs a "race fetish" tag or such. But a non-judgmental approach will probably help to make people more likely to tag when they suspect they ventured there, even while not sure. Maybe like right now people tag for impaired consent for drunk sex, that they don't think is non-consensual, but might bother some people, without facing censure for writing happy drunk sex.
