You are equating racism with aesthetic perception? Then it might as well mean nothing. I am not sure that racism is even "natural" whatever that means. While our nomadic hunter gather ancestors were certainly violent at times, there isn't much evidence that they committed anything like what we understand to be warfare, genocide or slavery. These are all modern, post settlement inventions. And certainly racism is avoidable.

Again racism is supposed to mean the systematic denigration of a population as incorrigibles. Incorrigible is a vital part of that definition. They can't be redeemed, therefore they deserve to be persecuted. Whenever humans as a group commit their worst behavior, racism will not be far away. You are banalizing it. And as I tried to point out already, if you are going to allow it to be an aesthetic sensibility, then you can't complain when someone calls you a racist for being critical of Islam.

By the way, I have called out people for using the term racist to describe criticism of Islam. Guess what, they thanked me and stopped using the term.
