If we can agree then perhaps racism is not the core issue. The core issue might be acceptance. If I had to choose between racism that is discussed openly and racism that is secretive, I would choose openness.

If we also agree on openness then we can explore easier problems to solve.

I dunno. Just thinking out loud.
Agree that open discussion is preferable to covert pretense. Chances are, "we" may have more in common with a random "other" that someone that only looks like "us".
