As Christians, we cannot subscribe to any form of racism or bigotry, as it violates the Royal Law.
The Royal Law was given to us in Matthew 22:37-39:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
If there was any confusion about who qualifies as a neighbor, Jesus provided the answer in the parable of the good Samaritan. It's a fable as old as mankind. The person whom you least expect to help you out of a bad situation may be the very person who does. Ergo, we are all neighbors. How would you feel if you spent your life hating people because of their skin color or sexual orientation and someone of that same demographic saved your life? There are plenty of gay doctors/surgeons and also plenty of them are Black, Hispanic, Chinese, Oriental, etc.
Moreover, if you are a true Christian, you are to treat everyone the same, showing no respect of persons. That is the Royal Law - the greatest commandment given to us by Jesus Christ.
