I'm not saying that Jewish people are racist but (as far as I read) "in Judaism, "chosenness" is the belief that the Jews, via descent from the ancient Israelites, are the chosen people, i.e. chosen to be in a covenant with God."
Apparently "God" decided that not all the people are equal. I could adopt Judaism customs but I would could never be descent from ancient Israelites. This reduces the number of people interested to join Judaism. That was my whole point.
As far as discrimination/racism is concerned I think most of the religions(inclusing Judaism and Christianity) have some extreme(i won't name them) and less extreme (i.e interfaith marriage) views but fortunately most people care less about them(and religion in general) and more about their well-being/getting along with everybody.
