read a book, guy.
Not really that mutated at all. For instance there's not a race of man that cannot reproduce with another race. We are not even as far apart in genetics as donkeys and horses. For all the research that used to go into trying to find genetic differences that could be attached to skin color and ethnic origin, they found almost nothing. Sure there are genetic based disorders/diseases, but you have to really stretch your imagination to think that somehow anybody could come up with a sickle cell disease for instance, you can't fucking catch sickle cell.
For all the internet information about this research, there are tons of reputed scientists, and genetic researchers that think it's total bullshit. You can believe what you want to believe I suppose, but your very possibly misguided beliefs affect the way you deal with people in a very real sense. if you really think that we are all so very different, then what is really that wrong with Prussian Blue? and the white supremacist movement?
Seperationist organizations believe that our inherent differences make it intolerable to live amongst each other, and if you truly believe that we are genetically very different,then why would this theory of theirs not make perfect sense?
Another "finding" in the turn of the century that used this sort of logic was Eugenics, and it might interest you to know that this guy named Adolf used it to explain why jews were genetic scum, and should be eradicated.
Seriously, you really need to think about what you are advocating here, you're talking about theory, and it's possible use in chemical warfare, but the theory you are espousing as true is inherently flawed. You come back with "read a book guy", but you really need to take this advice yourself. We can both blab all we want, but I fucking hate the fact that you seem like you care, but you're blinding yourself with needless politically charged tension filled scare stories that actually impart some basic Eugenic bullshit into your psyche.
There is plenty of evidence out there to back up the simple fact that humans are entirely too similar to effectively make a bomb that would kill only a certain race or ethnicity. There is also plenty of evidence that newspapers are fueling any racially motivated problems this world has with their constant front page stories of even the smallest racially charged story. You in fact posted a link where the writer complains about how his organization was pegged by the newspapers as supremacists in order to pump up the drama, it happens all the time.
If Computo's theory is correct, then the solution is for White's to start reproducing with Orientals, and African- Americans, and... you get the picture. America is now ethnically very complex, so any "bomb" design to kill certain races would be quite ineffective.
