1.
The question of Race is rightly discussed in the various forums dedicated to that subject.
In that sense, Race as such is not really a philosophical topic.
2.
Philosophy approaches Race differently, by asking what Race IS, and quickly learns that Race is a category [by whatever criteria] of 'the Human'.
Only here do we arrive at a Philosophical problem: what is this assumption upon which the categorisation of Race is based?
I mean, in short, 'what is Human?'
And are all the Races varieties of 'the Human'?
3.
Some will say that the 'lower Races' are LESS than Human, and are therefore closer to the Animal.
Here we have the nub of our question: what separates the Human from the Animal?
Only when we have dwelt on this can we begin to look at the concept Race, let alone the idea of the Super-Human.
