I'm convinced my dog isn't a person, my chickens aren't people and even the worms in my garden aren't people. But I would never treat any of those as brutally as the Belgians treated the Congolese. It is absolutely bey9nf my comprehensionsl.
A better statement would be the Belgians dehumanized the Congolese.
It's the opposite of what you do right now with animals, treating them as a pet and something that can suffer is humanizing them.
It's why we say we cannot tolerate intolerance - to allow any dehumanization allows for this stuff to happen.
