The underlying concept of slavery, statism, rape, serfdom and other means of making people work for you against their will is that other people can be controlled and forced to do things for you without the compensation they would want in a freely consenting relationship. That's where we are today. Modern day serfdom and it's getting worse. The very rich are shaping the world to be their personal labor pool. They dip into it to enhance their wealth as cheaply as possible.

I doubt there are very many pure races anymore. With the exception of extremely isolated tribes, it must be getting harder to say technically that any one race is so pure as to be "superior." As for chimps and human DNA or doggie DNA, you get into sub-species differentiation. I think that is different. I lived in rural Virginia for many years, and worked with several inbred communities as a social worker. I don't believe that is the same thing as racial differences. I might agree that culturally some ethnicities appear farther behind in comparisons as we measure them, not because they are incapable, but because of the adjustment to demands of their environment, or developmental social variances, or different types of learning. I think we are getting enmeshed in some differing and rather loosely defined concepts with DNA, inbreeding, aggression, definitions of species, races etc. I am sure no expert on it. Heck, I almost failed biology, so I won't even try to go further on this discussion!
