I don't think there is a "Master Race" but I do think that different races just like different breeds of dogs have certain things that they are better at than others.
Better explained by cultural factors than genetic ones.
For 60 years, who were the best chess players in the world? Russians, of course. Soviets/Russians dominated the chess world from 1948-2008, with just one brief interlude for the American prodigy Bobby Fischer. This wasn't because of any superior intelligence on the part of the Russian people. Indeed, before the Bolshevik Revolution, Germany and France produced stronger chess players, and the good players Russia did have mostly fled the country when the Czar was overthrown. The Russians dominated chess because the Soviet government promoted and funded it very heavily. This stopped when the USSR collapsed, and there are no real world-class Russian players who have emerged since the fall of the Soviet empire. Today, the world champion is Indian, the highest-rated player is Bulgarian, and the most impressive young star is Norwegian, of all things.
