“I may be “politically incorrect”, but I’m not sorry that I am”
I never called you politically incorrect, I pointed out an assumption you were making and argued that it was false.
“Monkeys and apes are intelligent creatures, but they’re not as intelligent as humans, and though they have a social structure, they have never developed any kind of “civilization”.”
Monkeys and apes are not the same as pre-civilized humans. The fact that they have not developed Civilizations does not meet that those humans who have also not developed Civilizations are less intelligent.
“Great civilizations develop out of peoples with complex language systems”
Pre-Civilized cultures had languages just as complex as our own.
“The fact that they were non-civilized attests to the fact they lacked intelligence and hence remained backward or undeveloped.”
This view is essentially what Colonists used to justify the slaughter, displacement and/or forced assimilation of indigenous inhabitants.
