I have trouble getting past the first sentence, where he suggests that he's searching for some 'truth'....lol
I'll give you this one. That's a bs statement.... I'm gonna guess that the class is part of a philosophy or sociology department... they like to pretend they're searching for truth in evertyhing.... there's a reason they end up working at mcdonalds.

What does it mean to be 'racialized as white'?
Ummmm..... be white? I don't see how that is confusing.
I think that some people who think about it much more than you or I do have started trying to specify the idea of being "racialized" as X because one's race and the public perception (and therefore public reaction) of one's race may be different. A very light skinned black guy may be "racialized as white" because racists don't know to hate him..... That's what I assumed he's talking about anyway.

And what do you suppose he 'means' when he suggests that some white people might even be anti-racist?
...I don't see where this is a confusion at all. Do you like racist people, the KKK, Nazis, Asian grandmothers (yes I know this statement itself is racist, but I'm in the middle of organizing a wedding where some percentage of the people are old, very racist and very homophobic asians... and other are gay and/or black)? If you don't like racist people and policies... you might be anti-racist.
So other than a fluff statement at the beginning I don't see where there is confusion
