No ethnic group is better at everything, but I´ll say that Europeans are very well balanced in every way.

history has show how different people suddenly emerge, develop new civilizations then fall into oblivion... superiority may be relative. black american culture has produced jazz, blues, etc. Jimmy Hendrix, Miles Davis, etc... jap people love eletronic games and seem to know to get more and more perfect manufacturing them... which way of life would you find superior? the more 'intellectual', introverted, thoughtful japanese.... with many problems related to loneliness, suicide, or the joyful, smiley positive stereotypical attitued of oppressed afro americans? it depends... hiv rates and criminal rates among black americans are much higher than amongst the japanese... which way would be better? it depends... it depends on each one. Bobby Fischer seems to like the oriental way of life.... Ernest Hemingway enjoyed the bravo torero way of life of Spaniards, and seemed to appreciate Africa and Cuba too. ?

I voted North Africa/Fertile Crescent. Not because I am some sort of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean supremacist as I honestly believe there is no race that is automatically superior to others, however, people from the Middle east and North AFrica have had a profoundly positive impact on human development and gave rise to the earliest and most impressive civilizations (Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Phoenicia). They have been able to trade with others and assimilate foreigners, they also tended to be accepting of other people's ethnicites and beliefs. Granted, recently there has been a major downplay in the regions' contribution to humanity, particularly since the socialist revolutions of the 1950s. However, you will see that when people from this region immigrate to the WEst (in small numbers, Maghrebians in Europe are kinda screwing things up for now), they find enormous success and make many positive contributions to their newfound societies.
That said, I really doubt there is such a thing as a superior/inferior race though some races/ethnicities/nationalities have had more success than others at various times due to various reasons.

eh...hard to say...the east asians kick mathematical ass round these parts though... So to be good in maths is all it takes to be superior? If I'm an artsy-fartsy person I'd say Europeans are way more superior, seing how they excel in the field of arts, especially music. Superior is a combination of being good at many things plus looking good or at least on average not looking bad. My vote goes to the Europeans, especially the Anglos and Meds for their contributions to mankind, both in the past and the present. Plus, European men still are the hottest looking. ;D Overall, I'd say the Caucasian race. Non-European Caucasians created great empires who were quite technologically and culturally advanced, even if they today don't to more than bow to Mekka five times every day.

Seriously, even though he screwed up a few times He didn't so much 'screw up' as just 'screw'. It's said that the man ended up in bed with almost every female soldier under his command ( we're talking 19-year old girls here ).

The mere fact that Jews are an option among groups as Blacks or Europeans is telling ... I vote Jews.

I beleive ever human life has the same moral value. I don't believe their are substantial differences between races in most faculties. I admire the cultures of native americans much more then the more celebrated cultures of europe the middle east or Asia. I don't think civilization is all its cracked up to be.

Annunaki, you are very, very wrong. East asians are exelent in arts (including music). I suggest you at least once listen east asian classical music.
