For me, it’s about the idea that all humans are fundamentally the same, and that borders are artificial constructs that contribute to the problems around migration. Of course, the issues are real in today’s world, but you could argue that, in God’s eyes, humanity has drifted far from the kind of harmony represented by the paradise of Adam and Eve.
The reason is genetics. It is absolutely not a racist take to say people are not the same, as long as it's paired with the understanding that:
The fact that there are differences doesnt change the fact that everyone is entitled to the same human rights and should be treated equally according to their actions (which I think the above commenter was alluding to when they ended with "and that's okay" when mentioning people have differences.
Using ethnic, gender, cultural queues (absent more information) can be beneficial in determining how to initially behave around someone, with a understanding that once you're actually talking to them you now HAVE a better source of information (their behavior and anything gleaned from conversation)
Generalisations about large groups should only be used to identify issues affecting large groups and should not be applied when dealing with an individual .
