∙ 11y agoIf the ethnocentric people are very powerful, the interests of those who are not of that ethnicity are compromised. For example, British arms manufacturers used to make cartriges for muskets out of paper greased with pork fat. They then issued this ammunition to Muslim soldiers in India who were expected to bite open the cartriges when loading their guns. This was offensive to the Muslims who are obliged to eat no pork.
A great many similar tales can be told about Americans who are very ethnocentric and powerful and regularly impose their values on people of other ethnicities.
