I love the body. It looks pretty close to a human body when positioned like that.

I'm pretty interested in deviant psychology or abnormal psychology, and I'd put the thinking of racists on that list, of what counts as pretty out there and wrird thinking. It is anecdotal, but I have a suspicion that a lot of people, including supposed non-racists, are what I'd consider pretty racist in actuality, and one of the things they may be doing which I don't think I do in comparison, is that they first of all view people as "races" that are truly distinct and "other", and that they believe, automatically and eithout too much thought given to it, that these different races are very alien and like totally different species, they are practically speciesist. George Lucas depicted a bunch of aliens as pretty clear ethnic stereotypes, most clearly as such in his prequel series. I think that there is ample evidence that there is a degree of totemism going on too, where certain other races are dehumanized and objectified as animal-like and linked to certain animals, like snakes linked to East Asian women.
I don't think a lot of racist people are truly thinking of "others", even if they are positive towards them or intimate with them, as human beings like themselves, but as weird foreign creatures they dometimes fetishize and think of as fantasy beings and sex objects, and many other things seem practically gamified and like the people are not dealing with people just like themselves who might just have a different appearance and otherwise just the same mainly besides that and inside.
The council consisted of several Separatist leaders:
Nute Gunray[16] - Viceroy of the Trade Federation and leader of the Council[4]
Wat Tambor[16] - Foreman of the Techno Union and Emir of Ryloth
Poggle the Lesser[16] - Archduke of Stalgasin hive
San Hill[16] - Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan
Shu Mai[16] - Presidente of the Commerce Guild
Passel Argente[16] - Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance
Po Nudo[16] - Senator of Ando and leader of the Hyper-Communications Cartel
Rogwa Wodrata[2] - a former Republic senator[9]
Tikkes[16] - Senator of Mon Cala and the Quarren Isolation League
These leaders were also helped by various aides, including Rune Haako, Cat Miin, Sun Fac, Denaria Kee,[2] Rute Gunnay,[3] an unidentified Purkoll citizen,[17] and Nank Tun.[3]
"
I don't think it is easy, and it might not even be possible, for people who are truly racist like this to ever view others who they have made out as animal-people in their minds to ever recognize them as themselves or of their own kind, even if they have children with them and even if their own children are mixed, I suspect some of them have this weird detachment and actually view the children as unlike themselves to, especially if they look more like some other ethnicity, and then might think of their children as more like themselves if they look more similar to themselves, so that it all comes down to very duperficial but impactful things like appearance.
Possibly the most commonly seen with this squeezed skull, but it appears among other people too, and may be due to very closely sticking to a small genetic pool.
George Lucas made the entire "banking clan,", a planet full of economists and bankers, look like that.

Gossams such as Shu Mai were obsessed with status, power, and wealth. She wore jewellery including neck rings, an emblazoned jewel crest, and a rich skirt made of rare uris silk.[4]
"Because something that's really come to light in The Clone Wars series is that George sees it as Separatists, Republic, and then in the middle is big business. The corporations. […] That all needs to come to light with Nute Gunray, Wat Tambor, San Hill, Passel Argente, all those guys and explaining who the Separatist Council is that you see in the films, versus the Separatist Senate, versus the Trade Federation and the guilds. The Commerce Guild, the Trade Federation, the Techno Union. That's why we have all those guys we've invented that have nothing to do with the Council that you see. Because in the EU, its always been seen as the Trade Federation are Separatists, but that's not true. Obi-Wan Kenobi witnessed a business deal going on. And in the business deal, he saw those corporate leaders telling Dooku they're going to sell him arms and sell him droids to build an army. That doesn't mean that those corporations don't also have deals with the Republic to give them arms, but it got blanketed in all the media that it was very black and white. But the Clone Wars is anything but black and white, as we know."
―Dave Filoni, on the relationship between the corporate leaders on the Separatist Council and the corporations themselves[11]
In Revenge of the Sith, an unidentified Separatist is seated next to Tikkes on Utapau. Without any speaking lines or focus on the character, however, it is not clear if this Separatist was part of the Separatist Council or merely an aide.[3] Pablo Hidalgo of the Lucasfilm Story Group noted that the character was shot into the scene as a separate stage element, but he has never been able to find a name for the character, nor still photographs from that shoot.[18]

Coudenhove-Kalergi was the first recipient of the Charlemagne Prize in 1950. The 1972–1973 academic year at the College of Europe was named in his honour. Coudenhove-Kalergi proposed Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" as the music for the European Anthem. He also proposed a Europe Day, a European postage stamp,[4] and many artifacts for the movement (e.g. badges and pennants).[5]
"
"
Coudenhove-Kalergi was the second son of Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi (1859–1906), an Austro-Hungarian count and diplomat. His mother was Mitsuko Aoyama (1874–1941). His father, who spoke sixteen languages and embraced travel as the only means of prolonging life yet died in his forties, had prematurely abandoned a career in the Austrian diplomatic service that took him to Athens, Constantinople, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo, to devote himself to study and writing.
Coudenhove-Kalergi's parents met when his mother helped the Austro-Hungarian diplomat after he fell off a horse while riding in Japan. In commenting on their union, Whittaker Chambers described the future originator of Pan-Europe as "practically a Pan-European organization himself." He elaborated: "The Coudenhoves were a wealthy Flemish family that fled to Austria during the French Revolution. The Kalergis were a wealthy Greek family from Crete. The line has been further crossed with Poles, Norwegians, Balts, French and Germans".[6] The Kalergis family roots claim their descent from Byzantine royalty via Venetian aristocracy, connecting with the Phokas imperial dynasty. In 1300, Coudenhove-Kalergi's ancestor Alexios Phokas-Kalergis signed the treaty that made Crete a dominion of Venice.
During his childhood, Coudenhove-Kalergi's mother had read aloud to him Momotarō and other Japanese fairy tales.[7]

Mitsuko Thekla Maria, Countess of Coudenhove-Kalergi (German: Mitsuko Thekla Maria Gräfin von Coudenhove-Kalergi, born Mitsuko Aoyama (青山光子); 7 July 1874 – 27 August 1941) was one of the first Japanese people to immigrate to Europe, after becoming the wife of an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, in Tokyo. She was the mother of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi and the Catholic author Ida Friederike Görres (née von Coudenhove-Kalergi).

She converted to Catholicism and was baptized by an anti-masonic Catholic priest, Francois A. Ligneul, in Japan. In 1896, she was received at an imperial reception for foreign diplomats' wives by Empress Eishō (as a commoner, Mitsuko would never have been granted such an audience, but as a countess and ambassador's wife, she was) and again at the end of Heinrich's diplomatic work, shortly afterwards.
"
"
Once established, Mitsuko learned French, German, mathematics, geography and history in an attempt to counter the hostility to Heinrich concerning his return with a foreign wife. Five more children would be born to Heinrich and Mitsuko. Heinrich died in 1906 and Mitsuko took over the estates and the children's upbringing and education, while studying law and economics herself.
"
"
When her second son Richard proposed to marry an actress, Ida Roland, Mitsuko became intensely angry and forbade their marriage. She disparaged Richard and his bride with the words "beggar" and "witch", because actresses were seen as a lowly occupation in Japan.[3] She disinherited him in a certain period from 1916.
