I think Vaj's point was actually nicer than the Vedic view of Westerners as I understand it. We are not even untouchables who are in the caste system and can trace their Shaka or Ghotra back to the original Rishis. We are what MMY referred to in India as the "mix-ups" because we have no clear lineage, and would require more purification because of our low birth. Vaj's point that such low lifes can be used at will is not much of a jump. In the Vedic system the "unsee-ables", below untouchables, have to ring a bell so people can avert their eyes as they walked around. We are below that status in the Vedic system. We are out-castes, the lowest humans in the Vedic system.
