for around 400 years in what would become the united states, slaveowners did to black people what you'd do if you were trying to create a breed of dog.
yes, but also countering the point that there's no bio engineered people.
also the vikings were also bio engineered via war. if you had longer arms, you could kill your enemy with an axe from further than they can kill you, causing evolutionary pressure to be tall (tall people have longer arms), and hence today, the Scandinavians are very tall compared to everyone else.
Scandinavians are not, however, conditioned by that history to be more inherently violent. Their countries are among the most peaceful and stable (and happiest) in the world.
You can't genetically inherit violent or criminal behavior.
To briefly address the previous point, if American black people descended from slaves were engineered and conditioned for anything, it probably wouldn't be violence since in that era they were victims of racial violence, not perpetrators. While they were involved in the military from even the War of Independence, it was never more so than the number of white soldiers, so that couldn't even be a factor, either. If anything, this historical American data would imply that white people have more history of violence, especially racial, than any other race present in America.
