I assume that you are asking this question in good faith, although the mental gymnastics one has to make to come to the question you ask seems quite extraordinary. But I'll bite.

No, of course not. Racism - that is; discriminatory behavior towards other humans depending on their (now comes the important part) perceived or imagined membership in a totally made up group - is of course real. And bad. We should stop that. Putting people in imaginary groups and treating them different according to these imaginary groups should stop.

We should stop inventing arbitrary systems of human difference and to use them as justification for the unequal treatment of others.

Of course it's a good faith argument.

the idea that

>We should stop inventing arbitrary systems of human difference and to use them as justification for the unequal treatment of others.

Is possible in a world where racism exists is arguing in bad faith.

Of course race is made up and is completely arbitrary, but the idea that one can simply ignore racism that exists in 2021 is beyond ludicurous.

You are essentially saying that the idea that we can stop being racist in a world were we haven't stopped being racist yet is arguing in bad faith.

I agree. We could also stop acting like 'race' was a serious concept.
