"And if they did, they tried to convince themselves you weren't really like us. That you were less than human, so it didn't matter" (263). This single statement alone can sum up just about every war, every genocide, and all the slavery that has happened in all of history. Hitler convinced the Nazi party that Jewish people were less than Germans, so it was fine if millions of them died. Our country decided that African American people weren't really humans, because "they looked like monkeys" so they were lower on the evolution scale, so they were less that the white man. In WWII the cartoon industry encouraged children to be mean to Japanese people by making them look completely daft. Today even, we, the general public, are convinced that Muslim people are less than us because they don't have electricity, or running water, or cell phones. Apparently, our possessions make us a "true human being" not our beliefs, not our morals, and not the fact that genetically speaking, we are all the same. Our world functions like this, the way we think is completely disgusting and there is no way to change it.
