The word “Master Race” is clearly equivalent to terms which were used by Nazis and so are today's far right wing and alt-rights.

There are other communities which created similar narratives, especially from the 4chan side, and I think the origin of “PC Master Race” comes from there.

It was an outdated comparison to use when the terms were coined, and really isn't justified in the grand scheme of using existing concepts to illustrate new ones.
