William: Consider the irony that America and the rest of the world decries notions of racial superiority, ubermensch, genocide... AND YET... it is America who pioneered weapons of mass destruction, including the H-Bomb, thousands of times more destructive than the atom bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, AND they accused Robert Oppenheimer of being unpatriotic for objecting to the plan to bomb Russia and China out of existence killing 300 million people to make the world safe for Democracy. Each and every nuclear submarine possesses a destructive fire power GREATER THAN ALL 5 YEARS OF WORLD WAR II BOTH SIDES COMBINED. 

America grew in its early centuries by means of black slavery and genocidal policies against the Native Americans who owned the continent and had no concept of private property. Look up "the march of tears" which relocated Cherokee and others, hardly different from the Batan Death March.

Furthermore, although we decry notions of racial superiority we feverishly develop method of genetic engineering which might in theory allow us to create a superior human strain. Also we labor to develop artificial intelligence and robotics so that in theory one day all of our sci-fi horror stories might come true since the new superbeings or the superintelligent automata might consider their creator humans as an inferior and dangerous infestation.  Add to that the fact that China AND India have far too many male babies because female babies are considered less valuable. Everyone wants a boy for various cultural and economic reasons.
