It seems to be an assumption of the Catholic Church (and most churches) that I find to be very odd. Clearly there are things we consider human that are *incapable* of feeling empathy or deep contemplation of existence, morality, or anything that would indicate the presence of a soul; a spark of the divine. Like, they can't even really be said to be evil anymore than a pitbull that mauls a child is "evil." It's just living by pure mortal instinct - there is no immortal soul involved, no moral calculation, no consciousness deeper than the flesh.
Maybe one day we'll find a way to give evidence, but right now all we seem to have is sort of anti-evidence... that is, [absence of evidence where evidence would be expected](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F6rFBxoav0) from a purely-materialistic worldview.
But then, trying to prove the existence of the immaterial through a material lens does at least sound difficult.
Other races are a lot easier to tolerate if you think of them as about a decade younger than they actually are.
I had an encounter today at my kids' school. A little (jeet) girl, maybe 7 or 8 was walking with her Dad. But as he was turning off the path in front of me, she kept on coming. I tried to make space for her but she kept walking right at me. When she got close, she just says "hat" are tries to touch my (admittedly sweet) hat.
If she were a three year old, this would have been endeering, but for a seven year old it was just sad.
And that basically goes for all of them. If you think of the Sikh truck drivers as 13yos, the behaviour is perfectly understandable.
The problem, of course, is not that they're evil, but that they're adult-sized children, many without an understanding of morality or civility, running around our countries unsupervised.
Bro my cat can hear a smoke detector beeping and goes to bathroom in his liter robot not wherever he wants. Sometimes he wants some of my ham sandwich but he has never attacked me or showed aggression to get it. I could name tons more stuff my cat does better than a nigger.
Humans have “animal brain” working in the background and if you have a shitskin without actually developed parts of brain for what we consider people they just have mostly lizard brain.
So if you want to call them people and not animals the difference is all in brain structure.
