I want to know the answer to the following question:
Which race was considered living "in a state of nature" by the Europeans?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Just as some critics have argued that the distinction between high and low cultures is really an expression of the conflict between European elites and non-elites, some critics have argued that the distinction between civilized and uncivilized people is really an expression of the conflict between European colonial powers and their colonial subjects.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
