Brin's Attitude to Scars is kinda Scary

Anyone else think the way Brin dehumanizes the Scars kinda scary? I know the Scar are collections of bugs working together, but as collection they seem sentient and sapient enough to create some "art", and engage in exchanges with Outlaws to purchase weapons. Brin seems to have a visceral reaction to Scars that only leads to eradication.

She strikes me as the cute version of a genocidal maniac.
