Racist hate by Christians is no more rooted in actual Christianity than the racist hate of the skull shapers is based upon Darwin or Science.

Darwinism colored the way in which that racism was carried out (pseudo-scientifically) much as Christianity colors the way that some modern racism is carried out. And the idea that they got from Darwinism, and you can certainly argue that they were missing the point, was that if humans evolved from apes, that some humans might be more "ape like" than others if they were more primative on the evolutionary scale.

Going back to my broader point, it was meant to explain why science is so reluctant to talk about physiological racial differences or even the entire topic of general intelligence. It's because those theories have a long history of being abused by racists to give their racism some credibility by tying it to science. The idea is that certain ideas end no place good, and I think you'll find some of those same sentiments in the opposition to evolution.
