"You feel compassion for this evil race?"

I feel my theory that the world within the walls is a giant prison just got a little more evidence in favor. He specifically used the word 'race' which could mean human race but remember that it appears that it's only one particular race of humans (in contrast to East Asians and Ackermans) that makes up pretty much the entire population of The World WIthin The Walls that is affected by the memory manipulation power. Given that not all human beings but just the vast majority are affected by the memory manipulation, the apparently European humans that are affected by memory manipulation are the race that Reiner might be referring to. Maybe when the memory manipulation power was created, it was tailored to only affect a small subsection of human beings, the people who would be imprisoned. Reiner's evil race comment definitely seems to clarify that there's a much more specific reason why the world of AOT exists as it does.
