or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

Races=species. Darwin wasn't talking about human races here, but rather the struggle among various species.

Oh yeah, Hitler l-o-v-e-d the idea of evolution.

Not really. Hitler believed that the Aryan race was created perfect by God, but that the untermensch were threatening that perfection through interbreeding.

Bunch of racist claptrap.

By modern standards, Darwin would be considered racist (as would pretty much anyone of his era). However, he was also an ardent abolitionist.

"Darwin wasn't talking about human races"

That's really good to know you have a direct line to Darwin's brain! Can you ask him why he was infatuated with worms, and if his primary inspiration was indeed his morbidly obese Christian-hating grandfather, as many believe?

Words mean what they mean. "Races" was about people back then just like now. When an author uses a word, we must assume they are aware of its implications. Otherwise the author is an incompetant.

Darwin was a total racist. It is a primary subtext of his book. The early 20th-century racist/eugenics movement came directly from his inspiration.
