and the 'plains indian' culture was completely upended and re-written by the introduction of the horse.

and then you had culture/tribes that had effectively assimilated to western standards (although 'assimilation' might be somewhat oversold in this case) only to find out that skin color and bloodline was really the only true standard that the westerners would recognize (Christian belief offering no protection - although that was often the rubric used in various justification and rationalizations)

racism pure and simple - with that too having a long and fundamental human tradition.
