I'd like to see Eze's reference, since Kant is amongst the first people to talk of one human race. Certainly that is the guiding principle for the Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Intent, which argues for 'a federation of peoples', 'In such a league every nation, even the smallest, can expect to have secuirty and rights, not by virtue of its own might or its own declarations according to what is right, but from the great federation of peoples alone, from a united might, and from decisions made by the united will' (p34).
To attack Kant who originated the idea of equal rights among nations for racism is bizarre. Our contemporary view that unequl treatment is unacceptable is owing to Kant's influence. If today we extend the principle to such an extent that even Kant is faulted, we are only really paying homage to the power of that idea.
Louis should understand that if he thinks all peoples are equal, then he is a good student of Kant. -- Jim heartfield
