No one can claim having more superior jeans. Even the feared Mongols fell out of fashion. (lemmy.world)

The idea of 'superior genes' is a myth that flows out of noble class animal breeding

It was folded into 'divine right' as one of the many stupid reasons they justified their power and luxury

The rich bred dogs and horses and saw inheritable traits and then just applied that to people with zero actual understanding of biology and genetics.

As far as I can tell that's the one genetic advantage white folks can genuinely lord over the other phenotypes, our anomalously high rate of lactose tolerance. Hell of a basis for naming a master race.
