Is Racism a wrong programming of mind ? A short story

Many Gods were utterly disturbed over a boiling issue that happened at their favorite planet. They all demanded an urgent conference of the Council of Gods and sent a request to Supreme God.
The Supreme God looked at the graveness of the agenda. He scheduled an assembly of all Gods.
Gods live at different planets and stars in this sprawling and scattered universe.
Then a fundamental question arises, how they meet up?
To answer the query- they join up to discuss always like how we meet today after the Covid-19 pandemic.
They called for a virtual conference. Gods have been discussing by virtual means since the big bang era, the technique we are proud of today. The Supreme God holding the Supreme chair made of unknown brilliant metals presided over the meeting.
He declared the assembly open to the discussion. There were thousands of participants. A God opened the discussion, he seemed heartbroken as if arriving after witnessing an excruciating tragedy.
Looking at his morose mood the Supreme God persuaded him to speak, “Please say the matter frankly you wish to.”
He thanked the Supreme God for his ministration. He said, “Sir if you remember sometime back (thousands of years are few moments for gods) we created life on a tiny planet called Earth. Supreme God looked at his records on his giant Skytop screen and agreed, “Yes I can see here on my screen, we did.”
The concerned God replied, “Thank you, sir, for this kind acknowledgment.”
He continued, “I want to express upon the fact that we have begun a pilot study of life at a tiny planet called Earth and the results of experiments are terrible.”
The Supreme God frowned and asked, “How?”
The concerned God elaborated. He said, “The bio-technologists of heavens produced the genes of two classes, Animals and Humans. In humans, they have done a mistake.”
The Supreme God didn’t like the word ‘mistake’ and intervened, “Mistake!”
The concerned God replied, “I am coming upon the nature of the mistake, sir. “
He continued, “The bio-technologists team made genomes of Animals and Humans. The creation of animals needed no major brain programming. It needed a complex brain technology in Humans and our bio-technologists designed the Human brain applying the highest technology we ever had. They made complex research and created the Human genome responsible for an intelligent brain. Finally, our Genome Factory produced assorted types of genes for the creation of Humans and Animals.”
The Supreme God said, “Yes I know, I understand the team has done a brilliant job.”

The concerned God reckoned, “I agree to that sir, the team has done a brilliant job, but in humans, the team introduced an organ called Eyes, in fact, two eyes. The function of eyes is to sense the color of the objects.”
The Supreme God interrupted, “Yes very much, the eyes are interesting and novel organs to design, I saw those research papers and approved the research.”
God replied, “You are very much correct sir, we all appreciated the research. But it has caused an issue or a mess there.”
The Supreme God and all others God became active on the Skytop screen and asked, “What kind of mess?”
The concerned God said, “The bio-technologists designed Humans with a different color of skin, some beautifully dark and others not dark but. As I said, the Human eyes were programmed to perceive different colors. That was fine for the sake of variety. But our bio-technologists have committed an error in signal engineering of the brain for sensing and liking of colors. They programmed the brain of humans in such a way that the black color Humans is not very well psychologically appreciated by white Humans. The name of this error of signal among Humans is Racism.”
The Supreme God understood, “This is a big problem and causes inequality.”
The concerned God agreed, “This is exactly happening. “
The Supreme God declared, “We don’t like such mistakes. The bio-technologist team may be informed of this mistake.”
The Supreme God asked for advice from fellow Gods on the Skytop screen to resolve the issue. Many opined to remove color signals from the Human brains. But the concerned God objected the idea of color blindness to Humans considering that the beauty we have created on this planet Earth cannot be enjoyed by the brainy Humans if we make them color blind.
The Supreme God asked the concerned God, “Then what we do?”
The God politely replied, “Sir, this is a fault of programming, we can undertake a reprogramming of the brain in Humans.”
The Supreme God responded with grace, “Agreed, this idea appears sensible. Humans need a better brain design.”
The moral of the story - We need to reprogram our brains for Social Harmony.
