Massive efforts of assimilation and indoctrination, historically unparalleled in terms of intention,and the documented invention of race with which it coincided,were taken to keep up appearances I suppose?

humans evolve and progress

had we found the new world 2-3 centuries prior (ignoring the fact that more than 90% of natives died the generation prior to our colonizations due to disease), we would have just slaughtered and imprisoned what few remained as slaves

i don't see why you're arguing that is a superior model

Yes, humans practices evolve, good "point". The question concerns the role of race in colonization; to this question, racial taxonomy and natural groups were incorporated in light of European colonization and played a major motivating factor. I direct you to a quote from the P.M. of France, which you apparently dismissed for reasons unbeknownst to me.

Racial taxonomy did not exist in any legitimized sense of discriminating "value" prior to the enlightenment. If you didn't know that prior, or don't believe me off hand given my B.A. in philosophy and political science, I will differ to your ability to use Google. Your inability to stay on topic simply further cloud others in ignorance.

Have a good day.
