The word you are looking for, Stuart, is ENTITLEMENT!
White entitlement to be specific. Superiority and entitlement go hand in hand and create and *justify* the exploitation (and/or extermination) of “them” by “us.” This is done along racial lines as well as wealth inequality.
It justifies turning poor women lacking resources, globally, into Handmaids for wealthy women who “buy” their babies via adoption — and are cheered on as being altruistic. Bullshit! To be altruistic is to help both mothers and their children who need help not exploiting their hardship for gain.
