Fascism has NOTHING TO DO with racism.
Fascism states is that any individual is less than the group that they're part of.
Racism states that an individual is less than another individual because of race.
Now it is true that racism (or various other "isms") is commonly found in facisms, usually as a way to unite the people involved. But to say that either are related is completely unfounded; their definitions alone should show how different they are!

No.
Fascism is a political system based on overweening State control of the people.
That the best known Fascist regimes - WWII Germany and Italy - were also believers in the 'racial purity' myth is really not relevant to the politics of Fascism.
There are plenty of other dictatorial regimes that are not Fascist, but are racist. Heck, the political structure of the US before the 1960's was Democratic, but officially racist.
