Given that it's hardly a settled question (i.e. genetic profiling can match race, some people are a surprising mixture, and there are phenotypic differences such as skin, eye, hair and so on, so there clearly are differences) I don't think the belief itself is necessarily harmful unless it spills over into value judgements i.e. believing that people are inherently worth more or less based on race.
I found an interesting service that gives you a 'genetic geanology' profile so you can see where your ancestors are from, i'll post the link up later.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I worked with a British born Indian. He was a knob.
Whether I am racist or not depends if I think he was a knob because he was of Indian origin, or whether he was a knob who happened to be of Indian origin.
IIRC, Spod's original post that sparked the accusation implied that he thought that Jewish people were bad to work for, rather than he worked for crap people who were Jewish (in which case the fact that they were Jewish really shouldn't come into the equation).
However, as CM has said, is Spod thinking that Jewish people are crap to work for, based on his experience really any different to one feeling dismay when you hear you're going to be working with offshore Bob resource?
I also think the example is different to EO's Japanese. The Japanese that EO's grandad met in the war were representing the state (if that's the right word) of Japan. So EO's grandad is entitled to dislike the state of Japan. One would hope that he would also realise that an individual Japanese person may be quite nice.Comment
