racism didnt exist before capitalism

Well capitalism predates the existence of white people, so of course racism in it's modern form didn't exist before capitalism.

I thought you were saying that there were no actual white-skinned people, and thought you might be about to make an argument about capitalism always existing since the first modern humans, or something.
