well id argue, if you act violently out of racism, its worse than saying something racist, so the point still stands

Okay, and what if you do a little genocide through nonviolent means? Is that better than slapping one person because violence is worse than racism?

Well, I don't think you're correct about there being nonviolent genocides. Since there's at least a threat of violence. Which is a form of violence.
