I guess I'm missing something here, but it seems to me if this happened
millions of years ago then there's little chance of any pure-blooded
"spiritural" or "non-spiritual" folks being around now.

Bill,

You're not the one missing something. White supremicists are not known for
their powers of deduction and inference.

I guess in the more extreme cases, white supremicists hold that spiritual
potential is tied to how light your skin is. A convenient measure, though
not particularly logical.

Also, the white supremicists probably hold to a young earth.
