While Nazism had its origins in Italy, the two most powerful and influential fascist states by far were both incredibly racist, and that racism kind of leaked out of Germany's ideology and into Italy's. The Italian notion that genetic race wasn't inherently important was pretty much completely political, because it's generally not a good practice to distance yourself from every possible ally.
I guess that does mean fascism isn't inherently racist, but I don't think that's particularly meaningful. Fascism isn't really one "thing," so to speak; it's an amalgamation of loosely-connected attitudes that drive countries to violence.
