Arabs are also racist but they aren't really as extroverted about it as Americans are. Generally, racism only goes as far as commenting on the lightness of a woman's skin or kids making fun of other kids for having darker skin. But it's not that prevalent nor does really have any tangible effects. Thankfully the good aspect of Islam and tribalism is that racism is nigh non-existent because your family ends up being incredibly diverse skin tone wise and Islam forbids discrimination based on race.
Religion however, hooooo boy. If sects were racist Arabs would be the most racist people on Earth. In some places, like Lebanon, they are. To make matters worse, most of the religious minorities or groups are also super powerful. This might not seem like a bad thing at first but it makes conflicts between different groups incredibly destructive because both sides have more resources to expend.
I am frequently proved wrong but I do not expect racial supremacists to congregate at all. They are always a surprise and disappointment to me.
Well just like how great minds think alike, dull minds like to congregate.
