In modern times, sure. Historically, the communists generally were against virtually all barriers, including race. I remember reading about a story were the leaders of an all black and all white workers groups, back in the 60s, who previously hated each other, came together when they realized they were both being victimized by business owners.

The leaders of those workers groups then were mysteriously assassinated, and the business owners were able to defeat their efforts to unionize.

Even today, consultants that help corporations prevent unionization routinely recommend racially diversifying their work force to ensure the workers are divided and don't unionize.

MLK was assassinated because he started the Poor People's Campaign. It united black and white workers, he had realized when he only supported black people he was being used to divide and conquer the working class. He was no longer useful for the elites so was killed.
