Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.  (March 4, 2013 at 10:46 pm)The Germans are coming Wrote: wtf! Why all these weird threads? OR LETS ASSUME GOD IS REAL! LOL

They should be treated as lesser beings in that case, yes.

Should their rights be the same as the "superior" race? If portions of the "superior" race were shown to be in some way empirical way inferior to the rest of their race, how should that portion of the "superior" race be treated? If portions of the "superior" race were shown to be in some way empirical way inferior to the average member of the "inferior" race, how should that portion of the "superior" race be treated? If portions of the overall "inferior" race were shown to be in some empirical way superior to the average member of the "superior" race, how would you treat that portion? If the best members of the overall "inferior" race were shown to be in some empirical way superior to the best member of the overall "superior" race, how does that effect your estimate of which race is more relevently "superior"? Can you just be satisfied that "race" is a stupid catagorization for use in the measurement of any empirical "superiority" or "inferiority"? For any arbitray member of some race who would be inclined to think his own race to be superior to another, I don't think I would have far to seek to find a member of the alledgedly inferior race who is superior to him personally. 
Perhaps a (slightly) less academic exercise would be to consider how humans should treat chimps.
If racists were right, then through the process of natural selection the inferior race would die out over time.
