Question

Inferior people ? Why are bible believing people so racist? 
Curse of Ham = Canaan

“Cursed be Canaan. Let him become the lowest slave to his brothers.”---Genesis 9:25

Classic racism mindset on Black vs White
The idea that blacks are cursed and destined to become servant, slaves and inferior as they are descendants of Ham.

But also the East Asian are descendants of Ham according to them:

THE CANAANITES
        	The origin of the hated and sinful Canaanite who lived in Palestine came for the lineage of Ham. The Canaanites practiced probably the most sordid and evil religions based on murder and sexual perversion. The idol Baal, was the son of El, the head of a pantheon of decadent deities. Their civilizations was so corrupted that God commanded the Children of Israel to completely destroy them including their animals. Other descendants of the Canaanites were the Chinese, from the Sinites, verse 10:17. Further, the Sinites were probably the ancestors of all the Mongoloid peoples including the people of the South Sea Islands and the Americas.

The Bible just said descendents of Ham.  It took racist humans to decide that Africans were the descendants of Ham.  The Bible does not indicate anywhere that particular races were connected to particular sons of Noah; that's something religious people simply made up.

Abrahamaic religious people are NOT ONLY racist because of the mentality of curse of Ham that they believe, but Jesus was a racist too, favoring the Hebrews and shunning all others: "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" - Matt 10:5-6.

Atheist here but you have to be ignorant not to realise that a huge number of people of the 3 Abrahamic religions don't take the "Curse of Ham" to have anything to do with race.

Don't listen to the fundamentalist nutjobs, very few religious people do.

Some of the most negative things I've heard about other races have come from Indian Hindus, I've heard similar things from Orientals. The Japanese are racist against Koreans and Chinese and vice-versa so I don't believe that the root of racism is of the abrahamic religions.

Not at all.

Islam is a religion which guides its followers in every aspect of their lives. It is a way of life.
Islam is the modern or latest version of the message sent by God through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Islam was sent to mankind through Prophet Muhammad. Islam is “modern” in the sense that it has come to complement the teachings which were introduced through Moses and Jesus.
Islam is a religion which seeks to give a meaningful purpose to our life on this earth. It seeks to guide us in fulfilling that purpose by creating harmony between ourselves, our Creator and fellow human beings.

That is another subject. Did asker also notice that Simon who helped carry Jesus's cross was probably black? Is true 'racism' based on skin pigmentation or spiritualality?

All religions are racist. Simply put, they say that "we" are god's chosen people and everyone else is doomed to burn in the fires of hell.

First, God never discusses the color of any man, except mentioning that David was ruddy in color.
Second, slaves in the Bible sold themselves to pay a debt for a time.  Bondage is the word for owning a human and God never condoned that.
Third, learn what the Bible says before you accuse it with slander.
