I disagree, I knew a few people who where racist, but they are only like that because they don't understand the culture and they just stereotype people.
I don't class it as a sin, I class it as a lack of understanding.
A lot of this can also be blamed upon the media, their are loads of documantries showing how islam is this terrorist creating religion, which is a load of bull, but even so it continues to be shown, creating more fear of other cultures, creating more racism.
I can't say I understand the word sin though, is it not another word for hate in something?
I've never liked the word hate, but I have come across a lot of people I dislike to a high level call it hatred if you will but I don't class that as anything bad, they just piss me off and I'm not going to think that this is wrong because it isn't its nature, I'm not going to put a huge effort into pretending to like them when all they do is piss me off.
Edit: I'm not defending the extreem racism in society, I'm defending the innocent people that just don't understand the culture differences and are easily molded by the media.
