Race isn't even a well-defined concept, so I'm pretty sure your evo-psych hypothesis doesn't apply.

  "Race" is a fairly arbitrary name for one axis of socially constructed perceived in-group/out-group distinction, but the hypothesis suggested above can equally plausibly apply to any perceived in-group/out-group distinction regardless of whether the basis for it is in a "well-defined concept", so I don't see your challenge as particularly effective.

    They never said "As long as resource scarcity exists otherness is inevitable.", they specifically mentioned race. I don't believe 'racism' in the traditional sense (especially institutional racism) is inevitable at all. Sure you can change the argument and argue about a different thing, but we are specifically talking about race here.
