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

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