Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'race' (social groups) + 'mixer' (a casual social event) yields an event where people of different races meet and mingle, so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE. While 'race' can also mean a competition, the collocation with 'mixer' strongly cues the social-group sense, making the overall meaning predictable.
Etymology
Race mixer comes from the idea of a social mixer where people of different races are put together to 'mix' and meet one another. So, it means an event that brings different groups together to talk and make friends.
