As you're probably aware, race doesn't actually exist. There is no basis in science for it. It only appeared as a categorizing concept in the late 16th century. Racism is far older. Subcategories such as antisemitism are ancient, but there was no concept of it and no word for it, and we only understand it as such now looking back.
