    Capitalism is a fairly recent invention. Racism is as old as humanity and in no way depends on capitalism to exist

      That’s not true, on either account. Race was first documented in 1619. Capitalism became a mode of production at approximately the same time.

        Oh so racism was invented by Europeans in 1619? Interesting. This is not just deluded but very Eurocentric as well.
