He reacted to Bishop Erwin Kräutler’s claim that indigenous peoples of the Amazon “don’t understand celibacy” – “without [a] doubt, this is racism,” said Bishop Schneider

I think he meant that assuming indigenous people were unable to comprehend celibacy was condescending, like they are too stupid, so we have to cut them some slack. It’s what George W. Bush called the “soft bigotry of low expectations”.

Hiding the truth from an entire race is racism.
