As for that, no, the British found it quite beautiful. They coveted it and took it for themselves. Their great hypocrisy is that they dismissed the people that made it as worthless.

It is the Cetagandans that looked at York's scar and did not find beauty, only something hideous to be covered. If you're asking me what I find crude? That act is not one of beauty, it is ugliness itself to take what someone is and shame them for that.
