I have heaps. For racism you can talk about how he is called:
"Barbary Horse"
"devil"
"wheeling stranger"
"knave of common hire" etc.
and how when he killed Des. Emilia say "Oh the more angel she and you the blacker devil"
as well as making the beast with two backs and tupping your white ewe [as said before]

You can also talk about the influence of the military and how it motivated iago's jealousy - Iago calls Cassio 'spinster', 'mere prattle without practice', 'never set a squadron in the field nor a devision of a battle knows'


That should help...
