Isn't some racism just useful Surely splitting anything or group of things into subsections with different names is useful and makes logical sense. Imagine how difficult it would be for a doctor to diagnose an ailment if there where no such things as foot and stomach, and no different treatments for each body part. Not that I am condoning being rude or persecuting any set of people because of their attributes. But, it is likely that if somebody has logically created these subsets in their own mind (for navigation of the world) and they are more than likely going to generalise about these groups they may in turn appear 'racist'.
Whether we like it or not both subdividision and generalisation are something we all do when processing information and have become fundemental in the development of artificial intelligence systems and neural networks which will someday hopefully be similar to humans.
So called anti-racists seem to understand every aspect of pandering to people with different colured skins, but than expect everyone with 'different coloured brains' and ideas to be brainwashed into irrational drones who merely service various colours of people.
The human brain and human ideas are a far more wondrous and complicated than the melanin based black body radiation system of the skin. So why should people who merely speak about their own ideas about statistics (which are deemed racist) be so readily categorised, persecuted and descriminated against.
