Content
Disagreed. This is the kind of sentence that cannot be correctly understood without the (missing) original context. It is also, IMHO, a rather poor wording. The categories of "civilized" and "barbarian", as any kind of binary thinking (us vs. them) are routinely used to diminish foreign or dominated cultures (or worse, think about colonialism). I think they shouldn't be related with either a CoC, or the more general efforts towards diversity. The evolution of the meaning of "barbarian" should shed a light: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarian
