Good point. I accept that. They were 'wrong' too.
I'm suggesting that trying to 'organize' a culture with limited understanding of that culture (and it thousands of years of history) is futile.
In fact, it tends to propagate the kind of reactions which seemed to justify the need to do something about it in the first place.
