It would be pretty crazy to suppose that transhumanism
or transhumanity could be aligned with racism! I have
no idea how such a thought could enter anyone's head.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but it
wouldn't make sense to suppose that by *definition*
Christians, drug-addicts, racists, child-molesters,
socialists, Scientologists, thieves, Nazis, lunatics,
or even advertising executives couldn't be transhuman
or transhumanists. Why couldn't they be?
