What you're calling for is the end of individualism and its replacement with collectivism - judging people by their groups rather than as individuals based on their actions.

Every society that has ever practiced collectivism is/was a nightmare dystopia. It's what the communists practiced, it's what the nazis practiced, it's what the islamic world practices and it's what you want to practice. All of those places are/were hellholes where everyone had to live in fear and out of ignorance and naivety, you think you want to live in such a society. Well you don't.

What happens if we start judging people by their groups and then all of a sudden you find yourself on the wrong side of that equation because the next government decided they didn't like people with your eye colour, or your hair colour, or your height or with your genitals? You're going to lose all your rights and be loaded onto a train just like the black people you loaded onto trains.

Just look at the nazis. It started with ethnicity, but then their idea of the perfect aryan got progressively more and more narrow and specific. If they'd been allowed to carry on, they'd probably have gotten rid of everyone who didn't have blonde hair, blue eyes and wasn't 6 feet tall. Are you sure you're not going to eventually find yourself on the wring side of those distinctions if we start going that way?
