Smart people can be and often are racist and sexist too. They are better at justifying it too. Scientific racism is an existing pseudoscience.

I hear your point, but they are not that smart if they think skin color determines the value of a human. Same for sex.

This is a good definition of smart. Agreed.

Smart people don't do that, otherwise they wouldn't be smart
