You're burning the candle at both ends here.

My bad - this was a bit too proverbial, I meant to inquire if that didn't, in fact, seem the ideal promoted by civil rights movements. Certainly, racial superiority was never a part of any of them, that I can recall . . .

It doesn't 'imply' this any more than separating third-grade classes implies an inequality between the classes. This may well have been how this has worked to this point specifically regarding race relations, but by no means does that implicitly mean this is the only way it can occur.
Also, you're being exceptionally evasive here - it's almost like you're resigning yourself to a caste system based on race. How defeatist, and how ridiculous.

More likely than not people don't choose their race/ethnicity, it was imposed upon them/given to them. i.e. the term African. Last time I checked all the countries in Africa didn't convene to answer the question "what shall we call our continent?"
