You'll have to look elsewhere to find justification for your racist beliefs. Here's a little piece from none other than Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza. Straight from the horse's mouth or in your case the south end... http://www.balzan.it/english/pb1999/cavalli/paper.htm Scroll down to the header Evolutionary Trees and at the end of the first paragraph you'll find and I quote: "Archeology shows that modern humans appeared only a little more than hundred thousand years ago, in Africa, and spread first to Asia, between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, and from S.E.Asia first to Oceania between 60,000 and 40,000 years ago. Europe was reached about 40,000 years ago from both West Asia and North Africa, and America from Siberia beginning 15,000 years ago." Oops!!!

That is a tad simplistic, but it shows to me that pagans were predominantly peaceful. Heathens? well, that's a different story, but they didn't exactly last the religious crusades either.
European Christianity retained a strongly pagan flavor throughout the medieval period. Only the rise of liberal (humanistic) Christianity served to significantly alter the basic cultural patterns of Western Europe, and even this is a relatively late development (beginning in earnest only in the late 18th century). Heinrich Heine's comment that, "Christianity has somewhat softened the brutal German lust of battle, but could not destroy it," is applicable to Western Europe at large (which, regardless of language, is essentially Germanic in culture). It should also be noted that the warrior ethos typical of European pagan traditions is not conducive to the sort of expansionary militarism which has haunted Europe in recent centuries. That peculiar brand of barbarism is a outgrowth of the rise of the modern nation-state, itself in part the product of humanistic Christianity.

I thin Cavalli-Sforza's research supports racial beliefs.Note that quoting something without explaining it, out of context, rarely enforces your point of view! Heathens understand that nature's diversity must be preserved. Christians don't.
