I think that white people get sunburned more easily than black people. Does that make me a racist? If yes, then every reasonable person is a racist. If no, then you better carefully define what racist means.
The races obviously differ in some ways. The interesting question is how they differ in things like intelligence and morality. But here there is an issue because evolution is still at work affecting these traits. Culture affects the selection process of these traits which means that races rise and fall in intelligence and morality based on culture.
Unlike religious fundamentalists, God understands evolution. So God has given us in scripture the basic rules needed to create a culture that selects for positive traits. Following the Quran or Old Testament would result in evolutionary improvement of intelligence and morality. There are differences between races but any group of people can form a new superior race simply by following the Quran or Old Testament.

The pagan Romans conquered the Jews and when the Romans converted to Christianity they fell to the pagan barbarians from the north so I don't think belief of any particular religion can make you superior, looks like Allah does not play favourites. Morality has nothing to do with it either, as some of the biggest and strongest people in the world, the Pacific Islanders and some of the northern European races grew up in a culture of cannibalism and savagery. And what of racism, the whites in Darwin's time believed the African and Asian blacks were a kind of ape or monkey and the blacks believed the whites were ghosts or spirits or demons etc so racism works both ways. Racism is just part of nature...if you go into a field of bulls they may chase you and try to do you injury, why? Because they are racists. Racism is a normal survival instinct as life forms favour there own kind. Black power, yellow power, white power, brown power and red power is normal but being multi cultural and bleeding heart liberal is not. They are the liars and hypocrites and cannot be trusted as they are wolves in sheep's clothing wanting global totalitarian power.

The Jews have had a bad religion since Ezra. The Romans had a decent form of paganism at the beginning (no idols) but as they grew, they became a multicultural mess which caused terminal cultural (and genetic) decline. But thanks to Christianity, the eastern half survived (it had less multiculturalism than the west) and became the Byzantine Empire.

I don't understand your point here. What does size and physical strength have to do with morality?

Racism actually isn't much of a moral issue. Racism is just a weakness because it prevents a society from attracting the best people (across races). One of the reasons that Islam was so successful in its early period is because it wasn't racist.
