  1. Racial theory is not a white thing. The fact that whites have been more powerful for a long time is another matter. For example, in WWII, the Japanese saw the Americans as "mutts". They thought they could easily defeat them in battle, one on one. This proved to be untrue. The Germans, of course, saw the Slavs as an inferior race. They paid the price. The Japanese saw the Chinese, another Asian "race", as inferior. Even given superior equipment, the were not able to conquer them. In fact, if there had not been the divisions in China between the Communists and Nationalists, Japan would probably have suffered a massive defeat. Don't forget that until after WWII, racial theory was the main intellectual trend in the world. Even in the US, there was a strong eugenics movement. The issue of the Jews is interesting. They did have, in ancient times, a strong national presence. It was really only after the 70s AD, when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, that the Jews ceased to have a national presence. Contrast that with the Germans. At the time of the Jews greatest national presence, the Germans were just a bunch of primitive tribes. It took until the 1870s for them to actually form a nation. Just think on that.
