Grindcore is punk, at least more punk than metal,
I think what's makes the metal culture racist from my pov is the "not political" nature of the bands which opens up to all different categories of racist right-wingers, another thing is extreme metal scenes (mainly black metal) are full of low life edgy teenagers (which is exclusive to racist right wingers).
System of a down may come to mind as progressistes, I mean serj takian is very vocal about Gaza but if i remember i think the drummer was a maga guy and the other singer made a horrible song that is like "I'm sick of the right and I'm sick of the left grrrr >:(", and imo that's the most left you can go without getting into punk.
but i don't live in the west and I'm disconnected from the local metal culture, so i can't be sure of that!!!
