I really don't think science has much to do with the bulk (or strength) of objections you will get on this subject.

I agree. The problem is that people see "racism" as evil, hurtful, low status, etc. Just like they viewed atheism that way a few hundred years ago. Which is kinda the point.

I wish to explicitly distance myself from the analogy you use. The implications are not desirable (and in a way that is not quite accurate either).
