I don't think it's wise, because most of the generalities caused by racism practically give nobody an edge over the other.
Black skin corresponds to more resistance against bad sunlight, but does that matter so much really? Perhaps a person being 10 cm taller than another would enjoy more benefits in their day to day life, and such a difference in height would still not be something people would discriminate about in the way "racism" is taken to be nowadays - particularly where it's not relevant.
About stereotypes, when dealing with individuals, it's much easier (and faster) to learn about someone by talking to them directly than to study the stereotypes around. So to me, a person who's very "educated" about stereotypes is someone who's just been wasting their time. Even when dealing with large groups, statistics in politics and social sciences in general are all over the place. They're dealing with very complex systems that have too many variables.
