Question your word in regard to what, exactly?
I know what the process is. You aren't reading closely enough. What I said was that the long process was to keep racial outsiders from converting. This method is also reinforced by the second tier noachide path.
In general, the long conversion path, which is sometimes even reversed after conversion, in combination with rabbinic dissuasion, the noachide filter, and general hostility toward converts (ie: the mishnaic scale of lineages in the formal sense, everyday hostility in the informal sense) adds up to racial protection: especially when they have used genetic testing as a way to validate Jewish lineage toward justifying conveyance of Israeli citizenship for immigrants.
If this process were subject to US law, it would be deemed to have 'disparate impact' in the extreme. If it is ever to have the stink of racial protection removed, then enough converts need to be allowed into the fold so that it is impossible to validate who is Jewish through genetics. Anything else wreaks of racial protection. If Judaism wishes to play the anti-racist game outside of Israel, then certainly it will not protest when the world looks to it for leadership in being anti-racist in its own ranks. That starts with allowing mass conversions of all races into their fold.
