Why is tribalism protected and celebrated?
It's pretty clear that only western and eastern civilizations are contributing value to humanity, neither perfectly but leaps and bounds better than other approaches.
Not even trying to be edgy or racist, but many cultures are toxic to our continued existence, especially were they to become dominate. Why suffer what's provably holding us all back and not force cultural assimilation?

Because of human rights,basically.
That's really what colonialism is all about, but it's immoral. Those people have a right to live that way if they want to. Also, you can't just introduce the past 500 years of technology to people living in mud huts, they just won't understand it and it won't go so great.
Anyway, this isn't science, go to /hist/
Anthropology is science guy.
Also, how is it moral to let people live miserably and die horribly while holding back others who do not choose to live lie like them?
>not .. edgy or racist, but
both
>only western and eastern civilizations are contributing value to humanity
Can I have a source on that?
basically what said. Our societies and us living in them are based on some morals and human rights that apply to everyone. If we were to circumvent them whenever we feel like (like the US does) they wouldn't really mean anything to the citizens. The citizens lose trust in the government and its rules, and it's all over.
Also, he's right that this belongs to . This board is mostly natural science, physics. chemistry, biology and math. Veeky Forums discusses anthropology exclusively from my experience. This thread can stay up and be discussed now, but in the future make sure you make them on Veeky Forums. Lots of Veeky Forums users crosspost there anyway so it's for the better overall.
Because the noble savage is special and exotic and therefore has a innate value to their primitive culture.
European cultures and ethnicities have no right to be protected though.
>Post some Cecil Rhodes-tier supremacist bullshit
>"Not even trying to be edgy or racist"
I notice you're using the internet.
Vaguely stating that morals and rights exist doesn't explain what's going on. As a matter of fact it's an argument exactly for preventing misery and horrible death.
As for the board is for natural sciences, bullshit. Read the sticky. Additionally social sciences like psychology, psychiatry, and sociology are discussed here often.
