The teachings of Maimonides on blacks, Turks and Mongols:

Maimonides is perhaps the most esteemed rabbi of all times among modern Jews.

"Some of the Turks [i.e., the Mongol race] and the nomads in the North, and the Blacks and the nomads in the South, and those who resemble them in our climates. And their nature is like the nature of mute animals, and according to my opinion they are not on the level of human beings, and their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey, because they have the image and the resemblance of a man more than a monkey does."

We have to assume that since goldsnow and his modern fellow Jews esteem him so highly that they also subscribe to his racial views that Mongols, Turks and blacks are non-humans.
