I agree. The seed for racism is probably genetic and served a purpose in a primitive setting. Those who were wary of others outside the group were less likely to be slaughtered by them. Wariness of those with different appearance was selected for. Just as the fight or flight response doesn't serve us well in a modern setting, wariness of outsiders doesn't serve us well today. We overcome it with intellect - at least some of us do.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
