quote
In the hot countries the human being matures in all aspects earlier, but does not, however, reach the perfection of those in the temperate zones. Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites. The yellow Indians do have a meagre talent. The Negroes are far below them and at the lowest point are a part of the American peoples.

-Immanuel Kant, Physical Geography 1802

Kant’s ethics, he said, did not fully apply to women and he maintained that animals should be used by whatever desired means to pursue whatever human ends and interests. Kant’s philosophies are brilliant until you get into just who they apply to.
