Curious as to how spiritual or religiously oriented people address the problem of race from a philosophical perspective:

For those that adhere to strict materialist determinism, the problem of race is a simple one. Different races evolved under different selective pressures in different environments. Thus through natural selection they evolved different physical and intellectual capabilities and characteristics. An ugly truth, but a simple one.

For those that assume there is a spiritual component present in individual humans, and who assume an ultimate spiritual meaning and purpose to mankind's existence, the problem I think is a difficult one. For what purpose would the creator produce a low IQ race that seems to be unable to function or thrive in civilization? This seems a horrible curse for them, as well as a difficult moral dilemma for civilized peoples that want to deal with the issue in a meaningful and compassionate way. How does this problem fit in to the spiritual evolution of humanity?
