I think that racism must be related to feelings of inadequacy in the racist. In some way that they cannot pull themselves up so they must pull others down.
In others, they're abusive, not racist - though using racist comments. They just want to hate and will use any convenient insult that they think will hurt - from colour to weight and everything in between.
And then there are those who are fundamentally scared and afraid of anything different. Anything from language to colour to religion.
All of it is based on ignorance of course. And all of them rely on the internet to give them critical mass so that they can reassure and comfort each other.
I realise I may be in a different position, my family is not wholly white, Christian or straight, and I have worked in so many different cultures.
But I swear I have never found a trait, a value, or a quality that can be traced to colour of skin.
People are just people. Good, bad and indifferent.
