CRISPR or not, editing genes is like making a ballpoint pen but your instruments are the size of the Empire State building.
And you aren't actually making a ballpoint pen one by one, but you are making molds that fit things that are shaped just like ballpoint pens and you just copy over and over the mold so you can get a billion ballpoint pens.
Anyway, I'm sure it's super safe and certainly better than those racist chuds with their eugenics of "marry someone who's not r-slurred"

This is wrong, CRISPR has pinpoint accuracy. Want to create a super baby? Get a tube of sperm. Electroporate them with CRISPR en masse (85% success rate with current tech). Fertilize a bunch of eggs (IVF), grow them in test tubes (ectogenesis), sequence them after a few days and abort the ones with shitty genetics. Put the best one in a human womb.
I mean human CRISPR babies have already been done in china, so there's nothing stopping the creation of superbabies except for ethics (lame).

They are already here as per my theory, they just haven't grown up yet so we don't notice.
