3. Blame.

Over the long run, I tend to blame the colonial and missionary
mindset that tells us superior, enlightened westerners that
we need to colonize and/or missionize the heathens or infidels
for "their" own good, meaning of course make them like us so
they'll serve us and allow us to stay there and exploit their
labor and resources... and then demonize them if they dare to
get angry and rebel.
