We live in a world of racism due to the popularity of thinking one kind of peoples more superior than the next, and if I'm not mistaken, this has been going on since the beginning of time.

Even more so, racial categories based on facial

Mmmm...too bad this ain't true. Racial categorizing include facial features as well as the shape and development of the entire body (or the bones), so to speak.
