Racism is ignorance
Race is something made up and it can be any group of people
Shouldn't red headed people be a different race?
Are they different than anybody else?
Does being red head explain anything about their behavior or beliefs?
I don't think racism is the root of all evil, but i think its just stupidity instead. Non racists just can't wrap their heads around why you would condemn someone because of religion or color, to me, that makes zero sense.
I think the world would be a better place if people just treated other people better and realized that we all have to share this planet and nobody has any more 'claim' to it than anyone else.
I'm sure we would all love our own earth where we can roam free and do what we wish, but that just isn't reality, we have to share and not being a caring, sharing person is where evil starts.
To begin with the op uses inferior races comparing them to "white" races, that is where it all begins, when one race thinks that it is superior to another or when one religion is seen as superior to another. The root of all evil is a superiority complex.

"Race is something made up and it can be any group of people"
Yes, Red heads should have their own race. It makes as much sense as any other so called race
It is all contrived, and based on enough people believing it that it becomes fact. It's reason why we call all people from europe white, even though there are multiple Haplagroups that come from there, who range from opaque to dark brown. Same thing with Asians. Not all have even close to the same ancestry.

"condemn someone because of religion"
Considering most religions claim that theirs is the only one, there's a built in conflict their, a built in superiority.
Honestly what's so uniquely bad about racism? I'm not a racist personally but we love our family and friends more than strangers so it makes some sense that people might care more about those who share the same culture than they would for foreigners. It only becomes evil if you're using that as a reason to be violent.

"share the same culture"
You can be of a different color/Race and share the same culture.
Sorry to be so late to the party, but life is life, etc......
Let's be clear here. "Racism" and most of the other "-isms" have their roots in a primitive but essential survival mechanism. After all, there was a time in human evolution when "different" generally equated to "dangerous."
So, in my opinion, HAVING these thoughts and tendencies in modern-day society is not a problem. ACTING on these thoughts and tendencies, without justifiable cause, both creates and exacerbates the problem.
If, in my effort to be concise, I have created or accentuated any issues, problems or concerns, please accept my apologies.
