      Nobody knows what’s going in inside that melon except him, but it really does reek of the old mindset of colonials “discovering” lands where people had been living already for millennia, and assuming they’re too dumb to be worth considering. Or even making a spectacle of them like they’re some sort of animal.

      Even if it’s not intentionally malicious, that sort of disregard has some amount of bigotry attached.
