Especially as it applies to how the Government of the United States and the European states comprising the European Union continue to behave towards the people of other countries.
Especially those which are peopled by populations that are not of white, Christian backgrounds.
The ethnocentric of European nations and governments' attitude toward the peoples of what could be characterised as 'the rest of the world.'
Those inhabiting the African, Asian and South American continents, has long been known for its quintessentially racist nature.
This approach, probably somewhat naturally, holds that the 'norms of European, western European standards and values.'
Are what should be used to measure the relative 'humanity and civilisation' of other nations.
I am not going to analyse the merits of this approach now, as it is not unusual for the 'conqueror' to perceive the world he sets out to dominate, through the distorted and distorting prism of his own worldview.
To be continued!
