That's interesting. 'Racism' in my mind is a set of beliefs that is all but corresponded to reality. Which are the ones that comprise your definition?
Also 'apply them to people' hides some complexity: do you consider any decisions that comes from a prior on people to be moral?
Yes, many decisions that come from a prior on people are moral. For example, if you see someone charging you with a knife, it is moral to evade, based on the prior that many people charging you with a knife are going to harm you.
