Majoritarian culture is mainly common sense in a democratic society. With restrictions, it can beneficial to those within the society as long as a sudden change in the population of indigenous peoples is accounted for. It can enable society to flow more efficiently. For example, let's say people prefer to use bikes as a mode of transportation throughout a city and have done so for a century or so. As technology progresses forward and new means of transportation are created, it makes more sense to have roads and infrastructure laid to enable better means of transportation. Legacy technology, as well as practices, tend to be the polar opposite of innovation.

In Lilith’s brood, the Oankali intervene on earth in an attempt to control the bloodshed resulting from world war. This intervention is meant to seize control of the planet as well as cleanse the ferocious nature of the human resistors. By creating a cross-species with humans the Oankali likely postulate that the next generation will create a sentiment between both factions that they can coexist and cohabitate together, however, the mistreatment of the resistant humans quickly deride any hope for delegation. Humans have had a hand in this behavior before while colonizing other countries. The Oankali are likely a metaphor for colonial intervention in eastern countries by the British. What we have learned over time is that by allowing communities of different ethnic origins to self-segregate in order to preserve their native beliefs and cultures societies that do not necessarily operate within the same bounds and constraints can coexist and flourish.
