Even if Whites or Asian are the superior race, the knuckle dragging yahoos that belong to the tea party/White power groups don't seem to benefit from being in that race.
"According to natural selection, an organism develops an inherited variation that increases it's ability to survive. In prehistoric times, man would need to compete with other stronger animals. Humans are obviously physically weaker than tigers and bears, which means our mental abilities were superior. Together, humans as well as other animals have come to live together on this planet.
Instead of comparing humans to other animals, how about comparing human races to other human races? Black people are usually built stronger than their east asian counterparts. The average black man is taller, built stronger, and runs faster than the average Chinese man. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I am speaking in generalities. I'm Chinese, average height and build (for being Chinese), and I often find it hard to compete athletically with most other black and white people I encounter.
Does this mean that Asian people have something more to offer mentally? American born Asians typically excel in academics. Many know how to play an instrument, and/or speak two languages fluently. If you go to a diverse high school, the number of Asian students are typically out of proportion to the number of students in the whole school. I'm in engineering, and most of my TA's have been Chinese. Schools in China are typically much harder than schools in America. I was ranked within the top 5% in highschool and took many college level courses, and my younger cousins in China were at the same level in math.
It is hard not to sound racist writing this post, but every race that survived to this day must have done something right, or had a trait that allowed them to excel. Does this mean that Asian people are inherently smarter?"
Many people confuse racial superiority with superior opportunity.
If you have one group of people that don't have to face widespread racial discrimination, segregation, prejudice, bigotry and hatred versus another that does, then chances are the group that doesn't have those obstacles are going to have better outcomes in society.
If you want to take this talk seriously don't look at the bad of one race and the good of the other and the don't look at stereotypes of races either it will definitely skew the judgement, and definitely study the broader(ancient) history of all the races with that said, I will not interject into this discussion.

You understand that by definition your post is racist. That is what racism means the belief that a race has traits inherent to their race. Your race could have been selectively bred for physical traits like slaves in the US, or be it by cultural selection in such way that those traits are seemingly prevalent but its race independent, you could do the same to whites, if you were to slave whites and breed them so that the strongest slaves had offspring, you would have the same effect in x amount of years, it doesn't say anything about race.
