Conservatism tends towards racism because it favours the status quo and dislikes change. Liberalism tends towards racism because it favours non-intervention and thus only favours change that demands less of people within the social contract. Progressivism tends away from racism because it seeks progress for all of society and advocates for a hands on approach to achieving social progress.
Conservatism tends towards racism because racism is the status quo (entrenched in much of society). If the status quo was robust racial equality then conservatism would try to preserve that status quo. But to achieve that status quo requires managed change which goes against the conservative and liberal grain.
