    I find this disgusting and racist.
    If the quote had been changed from 'innate natures' (that is: a nature which
    is inherent and cannot be modified as in a 'created race' rather than an
    'evolved race') to 'current relative natures' (reflecting the evolutionary
    plasticity of each stock making it capable of freely evolving and changing the
    relativity of those natures) it would be correct - I disregard the prophecy
    which could accurately be built on observation, not prescience.
    There are racial differences. They have nothing to do with the intrinsic
    worth of a soul - but they are real evolved differences.
