Lets say there were other sentient beings that lived here or will live here in the future. For example, dogmen or octopeople that are upright and can speak like us and have the same kind of sentience and intelligence. Would we treat them like how racists treat other races? Or maybe we would treat them better?

If dogmen are expecting to be treated as equals, they're barking up the wrong tree.

We have individuals who hate other members of our own species for having a different skin pigmentation, a more prominent nose, or a different curvature of the eye. How do you think people would react to a talking cow?

We'd try to kill them.

Unless we wanted to fuck them instead.

100%

Which unless the other species was a natural predator of us or something would obviously be wrong.

What if some of them were sentient versions of animals we use for meat?

Now that I think about it, it would probably depend on the species. We love dogs, so I'm sure we would treat dogmen with the utmost respect. Edit: Unless they're the Pitbull people.

Other beings...bug society (i made that up lol)....we'd probably try to kill them off asap.

im pretty sure animals are sentient .... and yes, we are "speciest", look at how horribly we treat all animals except us. we subject billions and billions of sentient creatures to a lifetime of suffering simply for our own pleasure.

Not really. We basically fucked them to the point the two species merged.

Same would happen to catgirls, or maybe that would be the cause of catgirls.

Florida used to feed black infants to alligators as a form of entertainment. We treat ourselves horribly too.

We would not be able to breed with catgirls.

Why is there very little Neanderthal DNA in humans, then?

I heard Neanderthals more or less died off because they didn't breed nearly as much due to being loners who lived in much smaller groups compared to homo sapiens.

Doesn't help that they stuck to clubs(aka melee range, aka risk of getting owned) compared to other early man who crafted throwing spears.

Basically Neanderthals are what happens when you think you can do it all alone.

Do Neanderthals and the other species of humans count? Don't they think we killed them off?
