Internally I'm racist to a large extent, but I also think this mindset is not productive.

It's OK to be racist if it's just looking at the world as you see it, but going on to be prejudiced, bigoted, and/or chauvinistic about it is where this racism tends to go.
It's very easy to take this racism to some very ugly places, to belittle and 'other' other people instead of improving the world by tolerating and appreciating our differences, and ascribing to racial differences what actually might be real socio-economic handicaps racial groups experience here, in the distant past, the recent past, and to today.
We're all in this together, especially here in the US, where we're all a nation of immigrants, since we largely slaughtered the people who were here first.

It's nice that there is actually some pushback stating the obvious. not only is race very real and right in front of your eyes every day, the science has advanced to the point where you can spend $100 at https://www.23andme.com/ and be told your racial composition quite accurately.
The denial of race is one more aspect of PC-conformity which demands you ignore what you actually see and suppress your anti-PC thoughts. sure, once again the sentiment is laudable (acknowledging the existence of race might lead to deterministic thinking about race) but we should put the truth above sentiment.
Far left extremists refuse to acknowledge the obvious reality of race because it would negate their beloved racism as the source of all group differences.
