With all due respect that is utter nonsense.  THe only place that is
possible is in the plot of a sci-fi book.  Whilst I don't disagree that we
could create a virus (after all it's just DNA/RNA in a protein shell),
there is nothing you could really do to get it to target one race or
another.. unless of course you can find some great antigenic, cell surface
recognition molecule that I lack and say an ekimo has..

Verrrrrrrrrrry unlikely.  Protein engineering just isn't that great yet...
