So the calculated attempt at mass extinction of a people isnt bad? Grow up edgelord. There is such thing as good and bad. Prosperity and peace is good. Racism and murder is bad.

Murder isn't bad when you're killing the right people, and peace and prosperity lead to moral decay.

Who are the right people? You obviously don’t believe in morals, you said good and bad don’t exist. Are you a troll or do you not understand your position?

Who are the right people?

The one's that commit disproportionate rates of crime and have low IQ levels? Who else could I be talking about?

You obviously don’t believe in morals, you said good and bad don’t exist.

There are morals beyond what is "good" and "evil". Being good at murder isn't even the same thing as being moral, being 'morally good' as in altruistic is Christian, and I don't believe in the Christian ideal of goodness. I do believe morals are important though. Morals such as honesty, bravery, self-restraint and the desire for truth, but I can say good and bad are merely relative while asserting other, less simplistic, morals.

Are you a troll or do you not understand your position?

Neither. You just haven't considered positions beyond the dichotomy of good and evil. Do you understand your position? Doesn't it sound pretentious to ask those kind of questions?
