The Lute-listers are often not Europeans, although more often than not they are surprisingly civilized, and there are small number of Europeans that are decidedly uncivilized.

I'm afraid what you describe is exactly Arto's mindset. He's shown too many times that his view of the world is one-sided, smallminded and hypocritical.
