Talk: Master race

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

This article holds that the Mater Race is something that already exists, whereas normally I have heard it used in the context of something that will be achieved through eugenics. User:H7asan

I've removed this sentence, since it seems very obscure, and ios also rather distracting and confusing ['[it] was first used by the British colonial power to denote the original inhabitants of the areas (colonies) that they had conquered and ruled.]. Why would the people being ruled over be the 'master race'? Clearly this usage is wholly different from the standard one, and appears to be no more than a coincidence of phrasing. It should not be main definition of the term. Paul Barlow

Paul, yes, it is somewhat unusual but correct, I think. I copied it from the German version, which I did not write. I am quite sure that Hitler openly admitted that the British colonial policy inspired him to do the same for his colonization of eastern europe. Andries 19:28, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
