That's a very sad world view, my friend. Does that also mean murderers who get away with it are superior people than those just living a peaceful life?
No: but those murderers who kill, admit to have done it, and yet have full immunity and aren't punished: those are superior, because they are stronger.
Well that's where we disagree then. Strenght is just an arbitrary criteria among thousands that could be used to determine superiority. We might aswell go for intelligence, love, empathy or altruism. Those are far more complex concepts that seem to set us apart from other animals.
Do you think selfless people are just stupid? People giving up their selfish needs in order to help others have my deepest respect. But by your standards they're just dumb.
It doesen't take any strength to be selfish and put your own needs above others. It's the easiest way to live.
If being the superior race means being a dick, I wouldn't want to be superior.
On a side note: Am I correct in assuming you're white? Because usually people claim the one race is superior that they just happen to be a part of.
Also, if in 50 years we'd all be coquered by let's say China; Would you be willing to admit that now Asians are the superior race? I mean, by your own rules.
Okay, I respect you for the honesty about China ^^
I'm sorry I make this discussion so long but again ... White people are not more intelligent than others.
Look at history. Asia was way ahead in technology, philosophy and science for a long time. Knowledge gets passed on from one culture to the next, each taking it a little farther. Without Persia we wouldn't even have the math that all of modern science depends on. The guy inventing the microchip wasn't smarter than the guy inventing Gunpowder; Just born later. Usually new inventions are made by people with access to the most education, and that's always the people in power.
And look at today's situation: New scientific discoveries and technologies come from all over the world.
The reason we think white people came up with everything is we only really learn white history in school. But that's not the whole picture.
I might agree with you on that, but how do you explain that some races are more backwards than others? Do you think that we could change the question from "Is there a superior race?" on "Are there any inferior races?" ?
Is there a superior race?

I think intelligence is also an attribute the White race has more than other races... everything else is just a utopia :)
I will be honest, if China conquered my region, I would definitely admit that asians are superior. No, I am gipsy.
