Of course racism existed, but Darwin gave racists a pseudoscientific rationalization

And yet. For the first century after Darwin it was Creationist Christians who gave racists a pseudoscientific rationalization by promoting the theory that non-white races had been created as "the beasts of the field"

“And yet. For the first century after Darwin it was Creationist Christians...”

Hmm, which mainstream Christian churches espoused the doctrines you are talking about? Or should we just tar all Christians with a brush based on some fringe kooks that called themselves Christians?

“who gave racists a pseudoscientific rationalization”

Pulling Bible verses out of context isn’t really “pseudoscientific”, by the way.
