All around me I see an incredible injustice being committed every day. Thousands of racists are being discriminated against, being derided in the media, being shunned from social groups, and being avoided by the population at large.
Their genes are inferior, primative, dating back to prehistoric times, when tribes fought against each other, and had to have an easy way to convince themselves that they should irrationally hate their enemy nations. Back then it was an advantage to believe that humans should be separated from each other, and that certain ones should be made into slaves or killed.
Racists aren't at fault for the way they are; it's their genes that determine that they will be racist. Therefore, it's immoral to discriminate against them, they just can't help it.

The concept of class superiority and inferiority has existed in all societies even before civilisation began as many hunter gatherer societies needed some organised menial labour and the men made the women fill this void, even communist societies where everyone is supposed to be equal, the party members live like aristocrats and are free to execute anyone who points this out. In our enlightenned democracies of course this sense is regimented so that we all have the same basic rights which prevent tyranny, but that people must have some of these rights taken away for a period of time if they abuse someone else's rights. This is a form of justified superiority and inferiority and it's extent depends on the utilitarian properties of it's usage. However there are still those who choose to treat others as superior and inferior as a personal choice within the constraints of liberty. For instance many people who use 4chan enjoy running around going "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER LOL!!", which I find offensive as I am black.
Every time a nation conquerred or subjugated another these ideas were implemented on the subjugated and every so often it is applied in a racial manner. It happenned with the Mongol steppe-mongoloids against the Rus white-caucasians and it happenned with the Almuhad arab-caucasians against the Songhai west african negroes (the incident which began the subjugation of sub-saharran Africa by various powers leading up to the triangular slave trade).
Maybe it isn't racism that is the problem, maybe it is discrimination itself, or crime. Crime is the problem. We need to stop people from being bad. That's the heart of it. If you narrow it down. I believe hate is wrong, there is no point in wallowing at how bad things in our world are, of course they are horrible and terrible, but to mourn it is equivalent to mourning the fact that you have itches occasionally or that you have to wear a coat because it is too cold outside occasionally. The essence of combatting evil is not to mourn and hate it's existence, not even if you try to eradicate it with the same vigour as an unemotional automaton with the same objective, because it is unavoidable and there is nothing terrible about something which happens that you should have come to expect.
