European modernity classified outsiders as either assimilable or eliminable

Evidence

Zygmunt Bauman suggested that European modernity developed two solutions to this question: using Levi-Strauss’ terminology, one solution was anthropophagic—consuming difference, assimilating others by remaking them in the image of Christian Europeans—while the other was anthropoemic—expulsion or elimination. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 79
