It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors. Racism claims that the content of a man’s mind (not his cognitive apparatus, but its content) is inherited; that a man’s convictions, values and character are determined before he is born, by physical factors beyond his control. This is the caveman’s version of the doctrine of innate ideas—or of inherited knowledge—which has been thoroughly refuted by philosophy and science. Racism is a doctrine of, by and for brutes. It is a barnyard or stock-farm version of collectivism, appropriate to a mentality that differentiates between various breeds of animals, but not between animals and men. http://freedomkeys.com/ar-racism.htm This is what my all time fav Ayn Rand has got to say on racism:

An older man and a woman joined in scratching the swastikas off, while some other people just looked and gave encouraging nods and "apreqs". One of them even made a remark like "He makes us feel ashamed," meaning Armenians and not a foreigner must have done this. Overall, it was interesting to see that people do care.
