Agreed. Same with any immutable physical characteristics that were not by choice or character.
Stereotypes usually exist for a reason, sometimes ignorance, but it doesn't mean all of them suffer the negatives, even if the odds might be that they could. Statistics are a tool that can be used for good or weaponized.
While discrimination, elitism, othering, xenophobia, group conflict, and prejudice about skin color have existed worldwide throughout history, modern racism is distinct due to the systematic development of "race" as a fixed, biological category used to establish permanent hierarchies. This 'racism' emerged primarily in the 16th and 17th centuries especially among white Europeans partially to justify the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, and the economic exploitation of non-European peoples.
Today racial hatred is a potent motivator in politics, primarily used to mobilize voters, consolidate support, and push specific policy agendas by leveraging fear, anger, and existing prejudices. Politicians employ specific tactics to exploit and magnify racial divisions for electoral gain. Voters manipulated by racial hatred are morons. As many as 50% of Americans have less than a 100 IQ score.
Though not necessarily in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
So you're upset because of my correction of your assumptions about communism in another thread? Your questions were disingenuous, weren't they? (It's not ChatGPT.)

It’s not skin color…it’s action, behaviors, ethics, norms, and values held by groups recognizable by physical traits.
“Niggers are just like us except for their shit colored skin” goes against actual observations.
Not all folks who look the same act the same.
I agree. But when you see the “Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard ” exit on the highway, are you going to take it and hope the folks act decent?
Not me….
Actually, we hate them for their content of character and actions and behaviors.
All of them?
Just some of them.

Half of everyone is stupider than average, and most of the rest are really close to average.
Tribalism sucks.

Thanks, ChatGPT.
