Sun Yat-sen:

Mankind is divided into five races. The yellow and white races are relatively strong and intelligent. Because the other races are feeble and stupid, they are being exterminated by the white race. Only the yellow race competes with the white race. This is so-called evolution....Among the contemporary races that could be called superior, there are only the yellow and the white races. China is [i.e., belongs to] the yellow race.
