Biblically we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Beyond that, we are all descendants of Noah and his family. Scientifically, we are all descendants of common ancestors. So, if you are religious or not, there is no basis for bias based on race.
I was raised to believe that each person is to be evaluated by me as an individual. That is, by their actions and not by the ethnic or racial group to which they belong.
So, is racism a sin? I believe so. It is certainly morally and ethically wrong.
When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.— Leviticus 19:31-34
“When a human being makes many coins in a single mint, they all come out the same. God makes every human being in the same image, His image, yet they all emerge different.” ~ Mishna
