In real life, when 1 group wants to genocide another group, they usually back it up with real MORAL claims, such as indigenous rights or self-defense, however the Celestial Dragons could never make real moral claims because they're just assholes hence they come off as Saturday morning cartoon villains.

As a Celestial Dragon, here is our "moral" claim or whatever you wish to call it.

We are just better than you. Genetically, physically, mentally. The faster you low lives acknowledge this fact the better it will be for you.
