Because if they divided things that way, then from the perspective of Homo sapiens, mutants really were wild animals. But likewise, from the perspective of mutants, Homo sapiens were wild animals too, with the difference between them being about the same as the difference between humans and chimpanzees.
Chimpanzees were far more intelligent than many people imagined. They were not only clever, they had emotions. Many chimpanzees that had lived with humans for a long time developed severe psychological illnesses after being abandoned. True, measured by intelligence, they really could not compare to Homo sapiens. But if measured by strength, Homo sapiens were also far inferior to mutants. Did that not make Homo sapiens the chimpanzees in mutants' eyes?
That conclusion was far too frightening. Because humans knew better than anyone what humans had done to chimpanzees. If they really let things be divided like that, then would it not also be perfectly justified no matter what mutants did to humans?
"Utter nonsense!" one ambassador said. "The gap between mutants and humans isn't that great. Don't forget, two ordinary people can also give birth to a mutant. How can you separate yourselves from Homo sapiens?"
This was not a scientific conclusion, and Sebastian had also realized that, under the current circumstances, they could advance or retreat as they pleased. So he said with perfect confidence, "This is merely a political classification made by mutants. After all, most humans don't acknowledge mutants as their compatriots, do they?"
"But... but..."
The ambassador was left somewhat speechless. Only now did he realize this was a trap from both ends. If you did not acknowledge us as humans, then we would separate ourselves out, and everyone would regard one another as wild animals, with no one letting anyone else off. If you acknowledged us
