: It is not 'a shame', it is a question of a deeply held and centuries old belief. You seem to think that you can come waltzing in and say flippantly 'oh yes, you are wrong, i am right', 'your culture is stupid' (to paraphrase the above posts).

I believe that Southern slaveholders once said the same thing to those bleeding heart abolitionists.

: For them sacrificing these birds is the MORAL thing to do.

Preventing African slaves from even thinking they were the equivalent of white people was considered the moral thing to do, according to the slavers' interpretation of the bible and their cultural worldview.
