nah, people work with deep sea creatures all day and just find them cool.
it’d just make international relations with them extremely difficult, honestly district 9 is probably the most realistic take on how we’d treat aliens. We’d be sufficiently unable to empathize with them that we’d treat them like shit, but there’s no real reason to actively try to wipe them out.
The District 9 aliens are a direct and extremely obvious metaphor for apartheid. The lack of empathy had nothing to do with capability, just a cultural hatred of the other, and it will, and did, like all apartheids, end with genocide.
