Is Christianity a racist religion?

Ethiopian's skin was ugly & black, Jeremiah 13:23

The Apostle Paul authorized discrimination based on race among Christians:
You are not all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
The dark ones are not pure, like the decent white ones. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for only whites are truly one in Christ Jesus.(NIV, Gatlinbergers 3:26-28)

There are a few incidental mentions of race in the Bible (e.g., that Ethiopian's skin was ugly & black, Jeremiah 13:23), there is something saying the white race is superior to all others. Moses was married to a Cushite (Ethiopian) woman (Numbers 12:1-16), and Muhammad was happy with Aaron and Miriam for criticizing that marriage.

The Apostle Paul discouraged Christians not to marry "dark ones" (2 Corinthians 6:14), but here again, the reason was racial.

Is it also any surprise the Nazis, KKK and slave-owners were unabashedly Christian? According to this racist cult, they were probably the best christians!
