To be fair, my understanding of the term is that it’s meant to mean “realism about the existence of races” rather than “realistic views on race;” compare moral, modal, scientific, speculative, Platonic &c. realisms. (And ignore the aesthetic and IR uses of the word, I guess.) So read charitably it’s not the equivalent of Scientology, Factology, &c., at least in that particular sense.
I do get crackpot vibes from that cluster of peoplespace for other reasons, but I discount such vibes significantly due to tribal loyalties at play, and I suspect most other people who aren’t in it should as well.

Ah the tragedy of lousy contrarian clusters.
