The only quibble I have with saying Boston is racist is that it fails to capture the surrounding towns. For example, Woburn.
Also, there are towns like Arlington who fought public transit coming to their towns. Racism fueled that. (Arlington folk harassed my Jewish grandmother’s family into selling and moving back to Roxbury in the 1920s.)
