Presumably, God could fix racial inequality in Hell, being omnipotent and everything. So would you expect him to? Or do you think Hell should be racist?
For the sake of the question, please assume that there is a Heaven and Hell, you are in Heaven, and that Hell suffers from rampant racial injustice. The first person to answer this question correctly will get an M&M.

Ah, interesting question, but since most of the people in Hell are probably white like me, I don't think I would be bothered.
It is almost too much of a leap of faith for me to even imagine myself on the good side of that pearly gated community, but for the sake of the good Doctor, I will try.
First, I'd get my Holy Blog going, stirring up my fellow heavenly brethren and shaking up the status quo. I would imagine this would be a tiny bit easier since there's nothing interesting going on in the promised land; deep sighs, harp strums and yawns all around.
---wait!--- Epiphany destroys the shining happy vision of God's ultimate vacation getaway- It occurs to me that there's no way in ... uh... hell- that Hell could be more racist than Heaven's going to be!
Pain, Fire, unending vd, and Demons implementing 'enhanced interrogation' are nothing if not equalizing upon those who getting the bad end of the pitchfork. From constant oppression comes solidarity.
I know what you're thinking- But that group of Irishmen over there- that's not proper damnation! A roomful of bottles of sand? How is that suffering?
Satan, CEO of Helliburton, replies, "Every race of man has his own unique brand of suffering. One man's waterboarding is another man's colonic. You see, those poor Micks see every bottle as full until they pop the top and get another mouthful of sand. It's a fairly evil fate, if I do say so myself."
"And those pasty guys in 3 piece suits in that room, and those two very unattractive jewish women- what are they all clustered around, masturbating furiously? That's not suffering!"
And Satan replies: "Oh badness! That's a horrid one, there. Two or three of those damned throw themselves in the pit of fire daily just for a few minutes respite from that room! That's the PNAC, they are compelled to be constantly aroused by portraits of the Clintons."
So it's all pretty fair, you see. The real racism is up in Heaven where people are so self-righteous for actually making it through the gates, they have decided to segregate themselves by choice.
But God doesn't play favorites, does he?
"Sure he does, he favors the atheists. But there's not much you can do about it in heaven!"
The Atheists? Why?
"Silly human, The atheists don't believe in Heaven or hell. They became one with the time continuum when their earthly bodies expired."

Okay so Hell exists, and God is allowing racial inequality in Hell?
I would protest....of course!!!
Heaven is not fun, if I am aware of an injustice being done, regardless of the forum the injustice occurs in.
Stop This!

" God could fix racial inequality" Yes of course He can. He could change the heart of any racist. I would pray that he would do that.
The only way God can "fix" anything in Hell is to empty the place and let everyone out of there. Of course the racists would have to be changed first before that can happen. So I would be praying for that to happen.

I really want that M&M. I'll try to answer but can I get half of one for trying?
I say, I don't know. I think if your "burning in eternal hell fire", is their really time or room for racism? Or if souls are Bar-B-Qued, how can you tell one race from another? All the souls would be burned to a crisp. Or is there even race when you're a soul or is that just something on the fallable body those souls once had?

If i was in heaven, i would assume that everyone who was in hell deserved what they got, rampant racism and all. And God doesn't have the power to change hell because he gave us free will, including the devil. The devil runs hell as he sees fit.

I would protest the existance of hell and all the horrors therein, including inequality during torture.

I think the standard is equal opportunity burning privileges.
Everyone has free choice beforehand.
