I hate evolutionary psychology. People use this junk science to justify all sorts of hateful thoughts.
I want it to go away forever.

REAL evolutionary psychology is fine, it really does explain how the human mind evolves over time. Bunk fad Evo Psych from the 80s and 90s is not.

Agreed. 
But hatemongers cannot tell the difference. 

Without the genetic diversity gained from racial mixing we’d be a lot more vulnerable to genetic diseases as a result of inbreeding. Genetically (and, in my opinion, culturally) diverse humans are stronger humans.

Racism just isn’t a good survival trait.

Also distrust cuts both ways. If “evolution taught us” to be distrustful of people who are different, we would all still be living in small tribes of less than a hundred each. Trade, technology, genetic strength - none would be possible if racism was as base as this comment implies.
