To me, this sounds like the same old European racist drivel. It's just
as outrageous when it comes from those sympathetic to Indians as when
it's metastasized by those bent on genocide. Are such folks
sympathetic to us in the same way they love the baby seals
(which some of us hunt annually) and exotic tree frogs, quite apart from
recognizing our humanity? So it seems. How sad. Europeans have such
a shocking awakening coming when their gods will fail them.
