In order to refute the ideas of racial superiority Vasconcelos conceptualized a fifth race, the cosmic race, something that is an agglomeration of all of the other races.[4] As Palacios notes, this race is called cosmic as it suggests that humanity will become combined and reach its destiny as inferior traits are lost through synthesis and a new Spiritual Era is reached.[3](p420) Juárez offers a critique to this concept against biological racism by suggesting that Vasconcelos reduced non-white races in order to uphold "Anglo-Saxon propaganda" and "Nordic educational, social and governmental systems."[1](p70)
