Superior Races??

In chapter 4, Walt makes the claim that certain races are superior or inferior to other races. He says that because of bone structure and larger teeth, that the black race is the most inferior. He also claims that whites that descend from Semites are the most superior because they did not "breed" with any other race. In his claim about Jews, he says that they have created a subtle message to other races to "breed" with others to make inferior races by putting it on TV and all over the media that it is ok. The audience in context of the book at the time Walt is saying this is the author, but overall, it is anyone that will listen to Walt.

I do not agree with this argument. Especially in America, everyone has equal opportunities to create success or failure. It does not really matter what your race or where you come from. A prime example is P. Diddy. When he started, he was in poverty. But look where he is now. Is a multi-millionaire and a media mogul on a level that a majority of white middle class people would dare only to dream about. And he is black. At the same time, there exist Jews that may start out in a white middle class home and grow into poverty or some level of poverty. This argument is based on racism and prejudice. Granted, a majority of people (black, white, asian, or any other race) who start in poverty will not make it to be multi-millionaires. But, just because a majority of people will not does not mean that any certain race is above or below another.
