Not really. For all Ayn Rands many faults, her idea of rationality )from which grew the deeply problematic Objectivism) required racism being regarded as the intensely irrational thing that it is. So in her opposition to racism, Rand was simply being true to her convictions, flawed though those convictions were.

I don’t think that self-identification as being a rational thinker necessarily leads to rejection of racism. After all, many racists work diligently to come up with various rationalizations to support it.

So I’ll give her independent credit for being against racism.
