The First to Display Racism

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is another questioner. He says: Is it said that the first to display racism, meaning looking down on another person because of their color, was Iblis? So anyone who has racism, their predecessor and their leader is Iblis. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
I do not know, yes.
