He considered the Jews and the Poles a greater danger because they looked like people. Black people were more clearly “other,” and prejudice against blacks more broadly spread in the non-Nazi population, so black people were less of a risk in his mind.

He called blacks beasts. Beasts are not people. That was his distinction.
