and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude

Never his race though, that'd be silly.

    That limitation actually doesn't exist. If someone is racist primarily against some group nearby, they may think that some group further from them is better than their own.

    Like some Eastern Europeans thinking they are better than Middle-Eastern people, but that Western Europeans are better than them.

    In case of that guy - he surely feels right at home in USA where all this is reduced to "White", "Black" and "Asian". OK, Middle-Eastern people are sometimes "White" and sometimes "Brown". Jewish people are usually classified as "White", which is very convenient.

    If you get deep into their subcultures, they get really nitpicky. There are comics where Italians are depicted with the kind of racist features they give to Black people, because some of the people don’t believe that Italians count as white.
