Wasn't everybody? ;) |
Kevin XI might think so. de Gobineau didn't though. Just the white species. Other races weren't the same species (pesky yellow and black).
Problem for der Fuhrer was that de Gobineau didn't mind the Jews, so Hitler, errm, sort of quote-mined him... |
de Gobineau's book also predated On the Origin of Species by a few years.
I know, I know, big shocker.
