      Racism is a subset of speciesism (which is when you think it is okay to kill some species but not others) so I think the comparison is reasonable.

      Direct quote of you equating different races to different species.

        Racism: “You can put those people in a camp because they have a different skin color”
        Speciesism: “You can put those beings in a camp because they have feathers”

        The step you need, to go from “racism is wrong” to “speciesism is wrong” is to extend your circle of compassion to all sentient animals and not just humans.
