But is it only dehumanising in the context of the western world and generally high migration numbers in that direction vs. the opposite direction?

Are you going to also fight the good fight for Chinese and Japanese depictions of and reactions to black people, for example? Because those caricatures are certainly worse.

But I think so long as people are given the choice it's not dehumanising at all. Just like how I choose to speak a little slower if speaking to someone who doesn't speak English very well when it becomes clear they're struggling to follow what I'm saying.

So in a way it's actually more human than completely ignoring the reality of a situation like that. Same as that first human binding the leg of another.
