Why do people treat unicorns as master race? Are they right?

No I don't think Unicorns are the "master race." Personally, I view the unicorns as squishy wizards, the pegasi fragile speedsters, and the earth ponies mighty glaciers/lightning bruisers. Yes the unicorns have cool magical spells but even their spells have limits and they can't do everything.

Most of the unicorns shown can't do anything but use telekinesis even self proclaimed greatest magic users like Trixie just do tricks with telekinesis. Only Sombra, Starswirled, and Starlight were known to be good with magic to perfection. Twilight as an unicorn has already shown to have difficulty making spells work the way she wanted and usually produced unpredictable results. She also needed to have studied a lot.

 

So basically you can't take the entire unicorn tribe as being the most gifted of all tribes. Talking about how great the entire tribe is so great makes no sense just because there are a few celebrities in it. It's like saying all black people have an easy life bu pointing out black celebrities.

Maybe i read too many grimdark fics, but unicorns are certainly the creepy pasta race. Alone with telekinesis you can do so much evil and literally any unicorn is capable of doing that. From commiting murder and making it look like an accident to rape is everything possible. I hope the others have something like magic detector machines to pursue such crimes. D:

I figure it's because unicorn magic is the most obvious magic. Therefore it makes them seem like the most powerful pony race.

I like to think magic is very tiring. So Unicorns are still limited like the others even if they can magically fly and stuff.

 

Overall, the 3 are about the same level as each other, individuals may vary.

 

Edit- fixed the sentence.

This makes sense! After all, we've seen unicorns sweat while using telekinesis on heavy objects or while performing complex spells.
