Did Robert Heinlein believe in racial & genetic purity? Message Board
Many of Heinlein's books talk about the group of people known as the Howards who practiced selective breeding to breed a race of long lived people. Isn't this breeding for racial superiority and if so does that make Heinlein a racial purist?

Absolutely not. Racial breeding at its best is a null statement (genetically we are all one race). Long life has nothing to do with "racial" superiority.
Note: the views expressed here are only those of the posters.
