What is the most racist passage in the Bible?

There are supposed to be 23,145 verses in the Old Testament and 7,957 verses in the New Testament for a total of 31,102. There is some variability depending on the version because some versions omit some verses.

The interesting thing is the thousands of verses that are racist in context so it is almost impossible to read a page that does not contain a racist thought or deed.

The question is: What is the most racist verse or passage in the Bible?

Cool. Now do the Quran and the Book of Mormon.

@LeopoldBloom The Koran is not as racist as the Bible is. The Book of Mormon is on the racist side.
@Diotrephes How much racism is acceptable to you?

Maybe you should ask the Filipino laborers in UAE about their wonderful non-racist overlords.

All humans are racists, including you and me even if we are in an inter-racial relationship.

The original question was What is the most racist passage in the Bible?

As I have pointed out, there are numerous racist passages in the Bible so you should be able to easily cite one. The Koran is less racist than the Bible. Anyone of any race can become a Muslim. According to the Islamic fairytale, one of the first Muslims was a Black guy, not an Arab. The Bible specifically excludes certain ethnic groups from participating in the biblical religion. The Jesus character repeated the bigotry by explicitly excluding non-Jews from his message. For the most part, the Jesus character could have been a bigwig in the KKK. He was a pure racist supremacist. That is a reality.
@Diotrephes Anyone can convert to Christianity, and in many Protestant denominations, it's a lot easier than becoming a Muslim. You should read "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" for his description of the hoops he had to jump through before he was allowed to participate in the Hajj.

Anyone can convert to Judaism but because it's practice-based rather than belief-based, it's more difficult than converting to Christianity or Islam.

@LeopoldBloom You might be missing the subtle points.

Jesus said that he had been sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. He didn't give a damn about anyone else. Paul is the guy who created Christianity and expanded it to the Gentiles. Christianity is a user-friendly religion. Anyone can claim to be a Christian simply by saying he is one. But suppose the Jesus character is real and his rules apply. What good would it do for you to be a Christian when he only cares for the Jews? Sure, you might gain eternal life but would you want to be a slave to a Jew for eternity as it says in the Jewish Babylonian Talmud and in Isaiah 14:1-2?

Muslims require certain specific rituals so it's harder to fake being one but it has always been open to all ethnic groups. Some branches of Judaism require special clothes.

Focus on the racist aspects of the religions.
@Diotrephes You can't go by the Jesus story in the gospels as those were written between 30 and 80 years later, well after Paul was spreading the religion. I've met Evangelical Christians who say that they are the "real Jews" and that Jesus was referring to Christians when he made those statements. Hence the "New Testament." Most Christians other than a few Messianic ones will tell you that the rules changed with Jesus.

Maybe being a Christian in a Muslim country in the Middle Ages was better than being a Jew in a Christian country in the same period, but it wasn't much better. The Quran does give special consideration to Jews and Christians, but other religions are given no consideration at all.

And as I said, it isn't easy to convert to Judaism but it is possible. Of course it's easier to convert to Christianity and Islam as those are proselytizing religions. Jews haven't forced anyone to convert to Judaism since the days of Alexander Jannaeus, and Jewish proselytizing today is limited to Orthodox trying to get non-practicing Jews to be more religious.
