Is "Racism" an error ? If so, how and why ?

Dallas offers:

How is it possible for an immortal Monad which is ever
incarnating in many races and places pay particular attention to
the limited physical heredity of a single incarnation?

As I learn from Theosophy, it teaches:

We (as the MONAD) ever progressing towards independent divinity,
have to prove we have no SELFISH BIAS., As it stands, Theosophy
appears to teach that we are responsible for the training of
innumerable MONADS of lesser experience which we have contacted,
influenced or used in prior incarnations.

There is no limit in time to these links, hence one may say that
our own trail of Karma is infinite in depth, just as it extends
infinitely forward. Our present environment is the result of
past choices. Our future will depend on all the choices we will
be making now and hereafter. This is the way Karma works.

These MONADS that now and in future will accrue to us, and will
form our "sheaths," or the "Personality," are called SKANDHAS or
"attributes," or "aggregates," etc... They carry our KARMA with
them.

They also are our Karmic links with the whole of Nature

IN A SHORT WAY OF SAYING IT, WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR PEACE WITH
NATURE, and with all those Skandhas. Then only when the past is
settled, harmonized, purified, can we "go forward."

So that takes care of any "racism."
