Dehumanization is a key element in tolerating mistreatment of others. Inflicting atrocities carries a psychological toll that can be lessened if the victims are seen as less deserving of compassion. Name calling is an early step in this process.

Humans forms a spectrum of races. The unscientific part are the crude categories USA uses, not the concept that humans from different parts of the world are genetically different enough to be called different races.

This definition was invented by Nazi Germany and led to countless horrors, are you sure you want to continue to use it?
