Racism is happenstance, and is a blanket eugenics like term. It's a simplistic view of a larger puzzle piece. That we all happened to group together in the past, in different areas, eat and live in same environments and reproduce with people in that group, is why people from different groups all look different. Looking different is a quick identifier that you're dealing with a different group. Whether that's something easily identifiable as skin color, or anything else.
Almost all animals and definitely predators have in group and out group preferences. It's a survival instinct. It's a fear instinct for survival purposes.
What we as humans are trying to do is out think our nature.
The problem with coexistence is terms. All groups have different values, different culture, different ways of living and then there's just straight up domination and power. Those terms by which we agree to coexist is a constant war. Everyone plays whether they want to or not, and there is reason to be wary of out groups, because they are in an internal struggle for the terms of coexisting.
This problem may be solved (at least from a "race" perspective) over time as everyone intermingles, but new sets of groups will most likely emerge in a never ending cycle.
