he's not even that racist to be honest, in many incarnations Kelly's family was killed during a mutant attack.. they got caught up in Xavier's "war" and paid the price.

unlike many other anti-mutant bigots Kelly (in most versions) truly lost something to mutants and wanted them to be better monitored so other humans wouldn't go through the pain of losing a family as he did.

granted, he is a flawed character but in Marvel everyone gets a bit of a "jerk" moment (looking at you, Tony Stark) : Kelly at his worst is absolutely nothing but a "blip" considering the heinous standards of X-Men villains.

plus, to be frank, mutants in Marvel are exceptionally dangerous: Cassandra Nova, Apocalypse and Mystique especially.. the one flaw with Xavier's dream of co-existence is that he doesn't want to co-operate fully with authority (because authority abuses them) but Kelly kind of reminds them (albeit in a jerkass way) that if you want to be treated human you need to be prepared to try and live by human laws.
