What makes people inhuman - when it happens - has nothing whatsoever to do with any specific race or colour of the skin, I think. I also think that that is what 'Steiner's teachings' imply.

So some people are considered to be "inhuman" by Steiner. What are the repercussions of that? Is that synonymous with "subhuman" or are they considered to be a part of the animal kingdom?

I used 'inhuman' in the very common sense of the word, referring to the development of inhumanity that lives in all of us as seeds, that in some contexts is let more or less free for a shorter or longer time by people, out of themselves or initiated by others, and understood by all normal humans to be inhuman

It did not refer to any special group of people being 'inhuman' in contrast to the rest of humanity not being 'inhuman'.

What develops in the animal world as hunting and killing by predators mostly has a sort of innocence to it.

What can come to expression in the human world as hunting, pain-inflicting and killing of fellow humans goes far beyond the 'evil' seen in the animal world.
