Assume racists are correct...

I'm a mix of many. So... I'm like one of those dogs that are mix breeds and nobody likes which end up in the street. Then they are picked up by the pound. Someone will maybe adopt them and feel proud to tell everyone how noble he is for adopting a "rescue dog".

Assume people pounds existed. Would I be adopted and could I seduce people into adopting me via sexual favors? Would my sexual favors be of less value due to my condition of being a mix? How would that be interpreted when comparing how good I am compared to other pure breeds?

I don't know what 'empirically superior' means. There are not a lot of white guys winning the 100 yard dash, but overall the whole population of whites and blacks the difference in this and other areas are not great and most importantly individually people vary greatly. That's where the case for racism really falls apart. Individually there is so much variation between people within populations that racism totally ignores that and debunks itself. That's the intelligent way to confront racism. Not to pretend that there are no genetic differences between population areas, or to just dismiss it outright. That leaves racists feeling like we aren't willing to confront them or challenge them.

In a way, racism seems to be as self protection mechanism, so in that sense it can serve a positive purpose, I presume. A group protects it's identity/ uniqueness. We see that everywhere, especially in young adults.

Ethically I think it incumbent on the host group to actively support outsiders. Championing your own culture is without value if you can't value other cultures equally.

I am German.

Son if this case would hapen to be found true in the future: I win!

Let's say that racists are right, that the race(s) they hate is in some empirical way inferior to their own race (e.g. in capacity to think, to learn, to create, etc), how should that race(s) be treated? Should their rights be the same as the "superior" race?

I suppose if the race was limited of brain but able to take orders and do violence a use could be found.

If the race has inferior social skills but are good with the numbers, we'll pay them well and keep a slight distance.

A race that is adept at smiling while cheating with an inferior grasp of what's commonly accepted as morality, sales and political functions have to be done by some one.

I think you just described 3 racial stereotypes right there.

Black

Asian

White

How do you treat Gorillas, Chimps and Orangutans?
