pres·ent·ism
/ˈprezenˌtizəm/

noun

  1. uncritical adherence to present-day attitudes, especially the tendency to interpret past events in terms of modern values and concepts.
If the intent was to 'civilize the savage', then it is very similar to what the Chinese are doing to the Uyghar's and their attempt to destroy their culture and make them fit into the dominant culture.

They can't decide if they want to be British or American. Can you guys just take them back or blow them up? Thanks in advance.

The accepted standard at the time was that whites were genetically superior to all other races. That no longer holds true. So, no it's not very similar.

It wasn't true then. The accepted standard at one time was the world was flat, that doesn't mean it was flat at the time.

Presentism is bullshit. You can't seperate the past from present context when analysing it in the present. Even if you try to you are doing it with unconscious biases. It's also not relevant here, because the intent of both programs are the same.

By moving the historical goalposts the way you are you're demonstrating that presentism is a very real thing.
