Is a master race a combination of the best of ALL heritages and races? Or just one?

They were not the only ones who tried ethnic cleansing as a means to an end for peace. However by doing so, could be likened to killing off an entire species minus one chosen breed of the species of course.

I stand behind my assesment, that the closest thing to a perfect master race would be a combination of the best qualities of each breed all rolled into one.

It makes no sense to destroy an entire species, to preserve one breed or variant pure from crossbreeding with other members of the species, thereby forming new variants for study, and possibly containing solutions to many unsolved problems facing the species as a whole.

ie. read possible contributions to society as a whole and the ENTIRE species.

Further, from a philosophical standpoint.

If you erase all but one breed from a species to preserve it intact. You have less choices and diversity to choose from limiting your freedom, and NO possible further advancment of the species.

It stagnates until they all become idenical or die off and are replaced by the same breed over and over again.

Imagine a world with NO diveristy or anything new to see and explore.

It may be our idea of an never changing maximum security prison cell...or hell.

Not a worthwhile goal to pursue in my humble opinion.

Myself and a Japanese/american friend of mine were having this conversation last night.
When I asked, if me and Emperor Akihito's granddaughter had a son together, could that son become the next Emperor of Japan...being as I have almost all races except asian mixed in my blood?
He said this would be considered impossible, and would undermine the Shinto philosophy.
But he would not elaborate on the exact reasons.
Can someone elaborate further on this?

I quote the OP one more time.

What did you want to discuss on this thread? What the title says or what the OP says? In the future please keep your thread titles and opening posts so that they match.

I believe, and it has been pointed out to me, that to say "some races have lower cognitive abilities" may be taken as racism.

It would have been better for me to have written, and I ask you to consider, that I meant 'differing cognitive abilities.'

I hope this soothes those who may have got all - excited about that.:snore:
