I'm not sure if you mean racism in the OUATverse or on a meta level, but the only thing I can think of is POC characters being neglected by plot or possible tokenism. I meant on a meta level:

As you said, a lot of POC are neglected by the plot, and either have no resolution (The Dragon, Stanum, Mulan, Gwen, Lancelot) or are killed off unnecessarily (Merlin, Ella's godmother)

Having Sidney being a literal slave

The fact that the only non white character in the (original) main cast is a rapist (and it was a little insensitive to have a Latina rapist)

Adult Lily being played by a white actress depite being a Latina child
