Agreed. It sounds a bit like the rhetoric that emerges whenever a group of people who see themselves as "naturally" dominating another group become threatened by that group. For instance, a great deal of "scientific" evidence for the subjugation of blacks developed thoughout Europe after the Haitian revolution in the 18th century. The more those dominated show themselves to be equals, the more necessary talk like this becomes for the masters to reassure themselves that their place is justified.
