What you are talking about is social darwinism, not simply natural selection, and I think there has been enough said on why it is problematic that I don't need to reiterate it here.

It's kin selection, which is regular Darwinism.

"Natural" != "morally right"

Were this an article about how, for example, people's mothers /sisters/familiar relations favors them, that might be the case.

But it isn't.

And, in case this was a point of confusion, race != family.
