> But if it was a robot, it wouldn't be racist or appalling, but it seems to be that if a human does it is considered racist.

Where is this said?

To quote the movie Short Circuit "Robots don't think, they just run programs".

If the software is racist, then the robot is, if the software is not racist, neither is the robot.

Therefore, robots cannot be racist. Only programmers can be racist. (which are people)
