>>5Racism is bad because you cannot reliably and consistently infer from a person's race what their talents, morals, etc. are or will become. Therefore, it is not only unfair to hold people back from opportunities due to their race, it is also detrimental to the development of humanity; you never know where the next great breakthrough will come from and every individual should be given a chance. Racism is indefensible from any reasonable angle, which is why pro-immigrant activists will use the term to refer to people who are (perfectly reasonably) against people from certain cultures and religions immigrating to their lands.
