The trick is to live in a white supremacist imperialist culture that barely considers such people human to begin with and couldn't care less about their traditions beyond the material value they create.
The trick is to find non-white people so indifferent to their traditions and culture* that they’ll sell it to white supremacists for material gain.
*Also did 19th century Muslim Egyptians really consider mummies part of “their” culture? Or is the idea of “Egypt” also a White imperialist imposition?
They were actually eaten (in the early modern era) or ground up for paint.
