  Aryan superiority was very much non-scientific and is a long way from any sort of fact. Either way, it's completely tangential. If certain nationalities are more prone to some diseases than others, then it's important to recognize this as it can be used for developing drugs that can help those nationalities directly. Sticking your head in the sand and chanting "race means nothing" doesn't help anybody dieing from a disease. As soon as someone starts actively persecuting people because of the research, then it does become racist however. That doesn't mean that the research is not important and shouldn't be done. It means education needs to improved (still).

  Science is science, and findings in science, can be refuted in a science impartial way. But no new discoveries will ever justify the holocaust, slavery or segregation. Because one thing is the difference in race, another thing is plain murder and racism. But we can blame this, on the inability of humans, to discern things, and make extremes of trivial stuff. I know in a way this new findings will bring new (neo) forms of racism, because that's the way we operate. We tend to elevate our self's, that some how we are better then everyone else, and that in a group, that group has to be better then everyone else.
