None at all.

“The leveling of the European man is the great process which cannot be
obstructed; it should even be accelerated. The necessity of cleaving
gulfs, distance, order of rank, is therefore imperative —not the necessity
of retarding this process. This homogenizing species requires
justification as soon as it is attained: its justification is that it lies
in serving a higher and sovereign race which stands upon the former and
can raise itself this task only by doing this. Not merely a race of
masters whose sole task is to rule, but a race with its own sphere of
life, with an overflow of energy for beauty, bravery, culture, and
manners, even for the most abstract thought; a yea-saying race that may
grant itself every great luxury —strong enough to have no need of the
tyranny of the virtue-imperative, rich enough to have no need of economy
or pedantry; beyond good and evil; a hothouse for rare and exceptional
plants.”

Friedrich Nietzsche
