Did Immanuel Kant Consider Women and African Races As Irrational ?

Rationality is a pretty common theme in Kantian ethics however my question is according to Kant's defination what exactly counts are being rational ? What makes a person rational ?

Secondly my question is that did Kant consider women and non-caucasian races as rational beings ? I heard from a feminist defender once that Kant didnt consider women or Africans are rational beings and saw them as intellectually inferior. Is this true ?

Im not a Kantian however i am researching on Kantian ethics and I really wanna know what Kant's views were on rationality, race and gender ?

I can’t speak of Kant’s thoughts on women, but there was a great article written by Pauline Kleingeld about Kant’s racism called “Kant’s Second Thoughts on Race.” (In the article she claims that Kant’s conception of women does not undergo the same change as his views on race).

In it she argues that, originally, non-white races, according to Kant, did not hold the same level of mental capacities, but that they, by status of their humanness (which he did think other races were human) belonged to the category of Vernunftwesen (rational being). He initially posited a racial hierarchy between races, but as Kleingeld mentions, toward the publishing of *Toward Perpetual Peace*, he seems to have reasoned himself out of his former views due to his ideas of cosmopolitanism. He even denounces chattel slavery in that same work. There are still unresolved issues on the topic, such as why he endorses an inherently racist book on physiology, but the article is a very worth while read.

Edit: OP not sure if you downvoted me, but did you somehow want an article that argued that Kant was a racist and could never change his mind on the topic? There’s tons of literature out there that tries to cancel Kant—I’m offering a nuanced view.
