Darwin - Caucasians at the top of the racial hierarchy - Will right-wingers like Darwin now?

He asserted that different races of mankind had traveled different
distances along the evolutionary path - white Caucasians were at the
top of the racial hierarchy, while black and brown people ranked
below. [Racism] was a widespread prejudice in British society at the
time, but he presented racial hierarchy as a matter of science. He
also held that the poor were genetically second-rate - which inspired
eugenics

tolerance originated with Caucasian civilizations inclusive of ancient
Greece, Rome, the UK, and other Western Nations. These Caucasian
nations demonstrate more respect for the rules of law, tolerance,
republican principles, individual rights and liberties, and diversity
than non-Caucasian nations which remain, for the most part, racist,
totalitarian, intolerant, and of one race, religion, and ethnicity.
The UK, through the Magna Charta, founded the basis of human liberty
and rights:
" The following are paragraphs included in the Magna Charta which King
John of England was forced to sign in 1215 by the Magna Charta Barons
• 39. No freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized, or
outlawed, or exiled, or in any way harmed--nor will we go upon or send
upon him--save by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of
the land.
• 40. To none will we sell, to none deny or delay, right or justice.
"
The USA and many Western Nations are becoming increasingly Orwellian,
Machiavellian, and authoritarian concomitant with "One minute hates"
by the Orwellian Pigs who scream: " Orwellian Pigs good! Not Orwellian
Pigs Bad!"
"No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The
creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and
from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was
which." George Orwell, the conclusion of “Animal Farm.”

Hardly.
Darwin felt it was "absurd to talk of one animal being higher
than another".
