So most terrorists are Muslims. Charging more Muslims with terrorism does not signify racism of any sort.

The weaksauce common usage of "institutional racism" on the internet is one where there isn't racism in the first place.
That isn't what he's talking about at all. The UK media (& I imagine the US is worse) really has confined the word terrorist to mean muslims. Other terrorist attacks carried out by christians or whoever else it may be don't get called terrorist attacks & the people committing them certainly aren't branded terrorists.
It doesn't fit the narrative. Although the trouble in Ireland has obviously died down a lot in my lifetime any events over there are never called terrorism in the news.
