Ok Paul, thanks for helping me see the light. Anyone who has a different language, customs, gods, or looks, or fights, different than you is a savage. Gottcha. Maybe the Spartans were savages, the Celts, Romans, Jews, the African tribes, the Germanic tribes, Egyptians and so on? Good to that the good old Bluecoat killed the Indian women and children and made trophies out of their privates were civilized.
BTW what would you do, if today someone thought of you as a savage, came to push you off your land, bring diseases, cheat you, destroy everything you have, and then murder your wife and children?
No need to worry about the why, you will figure it out one day.
