I think the basis for the claims about "terf racism" are that terfs promote white standards of womanhood (lmao). Usually I see this broken down into either the typical nonsense about nonbinary Native Americans or something about how if you think a trans woman looks like a man you're playing into the stereotype about black women looking like men, or something? I had literally never heard of this stereotype until I saw trans people talking about it on Twitter, and I honestly think they may have made up a new stereotype to support the racism claim.

I wouldn't even go that far. I think it's just a case of TERFs = bad, racism = bad, therefore TERFs = racism.
