The very idea of "martial race" is racist, ipso facto. It is making the assumption that certain races are more physically capable than others, which in turn begs the question: if certain races are stronger than others, would that mean that there are races out there that have higher mental capacity than others? So where do we draw the line? What's sad is that people fall for this trap and automatically assume that "martial races" are stronger than non-martial races, without any shred of evidence. However, the generalization is that these martial races are also mentally challenged. Let's think about the implication here. If we want actual equality among various groups, we need to do away with branding people this way and presuming that certain races are physically capable but mentally challenged while others are the exact opposite. It does not work that way in real life. Not a sermon, just a thought.
