Modern ("scientific" [1]) racism was born out of a misinterpretation of Darwinism. Under such interpretation there's no concept of "punishment" or "guilt", so saying that "racism is wrong because collective guilt is wrong" will not dissuade any bona fide "scientific" racist.

Hence my use of the double quotes.
