I guess it is a bit like with the Kennewick man. Colonialists wanting to prove Europeans were the first people to enter Americas and not the Amerinds themselves.
And if that doesn’t work, then the argument is: “It doesn’t matter who was here first. What matters is who fought for the land and won”.

Or alternatively, the need to ridicule:

In fact - Saami should be listed right below Lithuanians in that picture.

Brits really got a shock, when the original European hunter-gatherer was depicted as dark skinned, hence the ridicule – whereas we were used to those throwbacks:

So, I’d like to play this, as I hate the bloody racism, no matter to whom it is directed:
