Racism is a satanic deed.
According to Sufi teaching God gave ishara to Iblis that he should not bow down and so he disobeyed, lest he commit shirk, but in his sirr he was the most loyal servant who was willing to suffer punishment in order to demonstrate pure tawhid. That makes Iblis the best Muslim in history.
That is pretty insulting to God, painting him as a toddler who plays pranks and give secret "signs/ishara" to creatures. Thus; I don't even consider such interpretations.
