Article discreditng the thesis that Mao "killed millions of people" in The Great Leap

So, playing the advocate of the devil here, what is inherently racist about Fascism?

Unlike Communism, Fascism it is not a fundamentally socioeconomic model. It is, at its very base, about a "people" being strong through purity, and using that strength to empower the nation against its enemies, foreign and domestic. Racism fits so conveniently into that worldview that it is almost an inherent part. Conceivably, one could use other kinds of xenophobia than just race (Religion? Nation?), but denigrating the "other" and exalting the "people" will almost inevitably result in racism, or something very like it.
