If wizard supremacists are an allegory for white supremacists, are normal wizards normal white people and muggles "people of color"?

That’s one interpretation, absolutely. Or you could say Han Chinese, racist Han Chinese, and Uighurs. Or Israelis, racist israelis, and Gazans. Or white Americans, white American racists, and native Americans. Or white Brits/Irish, straight/gay, seafaring Scandinavians/prey, etc..

In group vs out group, with perceived genetic/social differences.
