IMHO, we all belong to the Human Race, not the Negroid, Caucasion, etc.... A lot of the people that would initially be labeled racists, in reality, have a problem with perceived culture that people of a certain look tend to have in common.

For example, a Lebanese man I know was adamant about how he hates jews, he'd go on about it at just mentioning some thing about them. Having traveled and raced with him for years - its really the culture of both the Orthadox , and Agnostics that have the run of the neighboring country to his home land. I ended up bringing a jewish friend of mine onto our team in a 24hour kart race. They both got along fine.

An example of what might be called "racisms" on a broader stretch, would be Turkey and Greece. Try going to either of those countries, and asking about the people in the other country from which you went to...yikes!!! They hate eachothers guts.
Lots of O stickers around here but few Black people - maybe up to 5% now

you are correct that there is only a single race of humans extant - a "race" is a subspecies unless you are a sociologist or some other odd sort of creature
