No, even if you took every person of a certain skin color and lined them up and put them to death, the recessive traits would mean that the ethnic group would show up in later generations. In addition, it is impossible to target a certain "ethnic gene". All genetic traits are capable of being interchanged with another member of the human race.
The only major genetic difference you could find between two humans would be if one was male and the other was female. Even then that is only one chromosome and the rest can be freely split, recombinated, and mixed to form you and me.

It may be possible by finding a certain chemical that attacks a gene only found in one ethnic race, but that would take a lot of resreach. If something like that is found, having it actually work is a low chance. Since most people in an ethnic group are of mixed races (example: Asian's can be Japanese, Chinese, Korean), focusing on one group would be extremely hard.

This has been done already...There's nothing new under the sun. Like someone just said all they have to do in isolate a certain gene because contrary to popular belief, every ethnic group is different on the cellular level. That's what makes every ethnic group look different.

No, Humans, no matter the race are too much alike. A weapon like this would kill everyone

No. There would be less than 0.000001% genetic difference between different races - the chances of finding that gene, it being SOLELY responsible for those racial characteristics (many genes do more than one thing) and it only being in one race are incredibly slim.

No, because in terms on biology, all humans are the SAME. Germs which affects one affects the others.

Anything is possible. If they could identify a specific gene that a one race has that no other ones have, then yea, they could theoretically accomplish this.

Yes it is possible.Israel and South Africa build and used it against Palestinian and African citizen respectively in the eighties.

Sure, just seed the earth's atmosphere with soap, and it will wipe out the entire population of France.

possible, but not probable, since to do so would be considerably difficult to establish who it affects, and who it doesn't.
