There seems to be a pattern. When one group dominates another for long enough, that group starts telling themselves they are the only "real humans" and everyone else is sub-human.
It's ironic that this is an all too human attitude. Rather than a sign of enlightenment it shows how earthly they are.
Deceived by the devil
It's not due to assumption of power, it's about having Satan, the father of lies and abominations, as their lord.
Christ is the eternal king of all there is and yet His power is not corruptible. The earthly rulers who follow Him won't be corrupted too. In the Christian worldview there's no dialectical tension between power and submission as in the worldly nitzschean, darwinian, hegelian or marxian worldviews. It's not about will to power or survival of the fittest - it's about harmony and being in God, of everything being in its right place and order.
One (singular) group (plural)...tricking a singular to consent to suggested pluralism establishes dominance over a consenting ones choice.
A human/hue of man cannot be all, since color (hue) implies a spectrum within all light.
Suggested pluralism (us) tempts perceiving singular (one) to ignore difference for likeness.
Person implies per sonos (by sound) aka a differentiation, while people (body of nations) implies an aggregation of differences into a likeness.
