The most common refutations I've heard to this line of reasoning is "the government is sovereign and you are not", which of course course conveniently ignores the fact that the government's sovereignty was not the result of any sort of contract, it was hostile takeover.
You defend the state, you ultimately defend barbarism. Tis sad but tis true.

The racial contract you define is a type of social contract. And you're right that people can pass a virulently racist social contract (ours allowed slavery after all).
I think most people would agree that the social contract they'd prefer is actually one that would protect basic rights; like legal equality, property, life etc.
In other words, the refutation to the racial contract that doesn't refute the social contract is the electorate. It was racist then it's less so now.

@UShallKnow the validity of a theory is not refutable by the popularity or impopularity of an idea. I'm sorry but I won't accept argument from majority as a refutation or proof of anything.
