These 'Ocean Men' are tall beasts with deep sunken eyes and beak-like noses ... Although undoubtedly men, they seem to possess none of the mental faculties of men.

The beasts in question were Jesuit priests, seen through the eyes of a Confucian scholar in the Sixteenth Century.
Our past suggests that prejudice, discrimination, aggression, and extermination are part of the human condition.
