If you would actually try to form a centralized, deliberately controlled version of this, do you really think that would work? How would you define who gets to belong to the group of untermenschen, how large percentage of the population would you dare to put into that cathegory without risking resistance (a minority as usual, I assume?), and would all cultures really choose their artificial evolution in the same manner? Would Muslim, Buddhist and Christian communities choose in the same way? Would a multicultural society not start to favor their own ethnical group, instead of looking solely on properties? Would an ethnic group tolerate it, if their group was found to have a weakness that would put all or most of those belonging to that group, in the untermensh cathegory? If current indeliberate artifical evolution is controversial and cause for war and other bloodshed, what do you think a deliberate artificial evolution would cause?
I got the feeling that AntiochusIII focus more on genetical engineering than breeding. In that case, "all" you need to do is to accept engineeering of your children in some way. Or if the technology goes fast enough, change yourself.

What would be interesting is if you develop different strains of humanity, in that case you can easily get all this racism again, although this time much stronger, due to that there's clear genetical differences that preceeds the average variations.

Advanced genetical engineering is certainly a field were things can go either way, is hard to predict and unless something happens, a field humanity will go quite deep into.
