Turing could and did generalize a computer and did so way back in 1935.

That's not true for all software. DNA is software and it's run on ribosomes
made of materials assembled in cells.  And a racist judges somebody not by
their actions or the content of their character but by some trivial
characteristic, for some it's if the skin is black or white, for others
it's if the brain is wet and squishy or dry and hard.
