For you to disagree with me would be for you to commit yourself to the position that humans are not predisposed to us-vs-them/in group vs. out group dynamics, whether based on perceptions of race, social class, nationality, etc.Is that your position?If the thing that is being represented isn't meant to be understood broadly as human, then you're welcome to do whatever since we have no truly other real world race to compare them to and thus judge the verisimilitude of their representation.</blockquote>
