While a bit off topic a fascinating read is 'Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust'. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen traces the roots of anti-Semites and the idea that Jewish people were a race rather than a religious group. You witness that even today with white supremist who are often religious. Race while a myth has powerful motivations and consequences.

The difficulty was, I think, that vast numbers of often quite intelligent people were going in for eugenicist nonsense, while the mass of mugs were being sold racism to keep them obedient and justify colonialism - they could turn almost anything into a discussion of 'race'. When capitalism is in trouble, it will let political gangsters pick up on all such drivel to destroy working class opposition.
