Baha'u'llah & the New Era by -J. Esslemont- 4 Para

..Certain races have assumed themselves to be superior to others and have taken for granted, on the principle of "survival of the fittest," that this superiority gives them the right to exploit.. or even to exterminate, weaker races.. (160:1)

"Concerning the prejudice of race; it is an illusion, a superstition pure and simple, for God created us all of one race... In the beginning also there were no limits and boundaries between the different lands; no part of the earth belonged more to one people than to another.. Why should man invent such prejudice?.. (160:2)

The only real difference lies in the degree of faithfulness.. to the laws of God.. (161:1)

The lovers of mankind, these are the superior men, of whatever nation, creed or color they may be." ('Abdul-Baha) (161:2)
