We have to be careful about how we use the term "playing the race card".

When our firm was once accused of being racist because we didn't have any ethnic employees, that's not playing the race card.

When someone says they think somebody else's actions may be motivated by racism, that's not playing the race card.

If someone were to complain they weren't hired by our firm because they are of an ethnic background, that's playing the race card.

When a newspaper rep accused our firm of not purchasing enough ad space in their ethnic newspaper, that's playing the race card.
