Something like that. Believe it or not, some people do justify raping your slaves (I think a lot of Muslim scholars justified it via hadiths). Do they see "sick" like us with our view of "slavery" and "rape", nope...if they did, they wouldn't accept it.

Yeah, we don't have their perception.
When I was a child, I use to fight all the time. Others saw me as very violent person. But I didn't see anything wrong inherent with fighting. If someone insults me, then I saw that I was allowed to fight him. That was my perception.
Of course, I've grown out of that perception. For you to judge a child that doesn't perceive it to be wrong with your own standard that you apply to what you should do, is wrong.
The same I feel is true of people that are not as "grown" or "sophisticated" in "intelligence/enlightenment".
