Racism of Thought

Has anyone considered that we've been trained to value the body over the mind?  We've been trained to think that it's wrong to be racist or make comments about people's physical appearance, but that it's fine to attack other people's ideas and thoughts.  While we can't say racial slurs, it's totally alright to say stuff like "commie".  It shows that by defending our appearance over our thoughts, we care much more about people's bodies than their ideas.

Yes, ideas are part of the mind, but the point is that our society promotes shallowness.
