Until very recently, it was
universally believed that men are congenitally more intelligent than women;
even so enlightened a man as Spinoza decided against votes for women on this
ground Among white men, it is held that white men are by nature superior to men
of other colors and especially to black men; in Japan, on the contrary, it is
thought that yellow is the best colour. In Haiti, when they make statues of
Christ and Satan, they make Christ black and Satan white. Aristotle and Plato
considered Greeks so innately superior to barbarians that slavery was justified
so long as the master was Greek and the slave a barbarian.
