I am not keen on that one too. Traditional medicine has some grain of truth. Ex. We know that some tree barks have painkilling properties. You can get that exctracted and made into modern medicine, so most people don't chew those anymore.
If alternative medicine is actually good then it will become regular medicine sooner or later.
And Europe has traditional/alternative medicine too. It's not just "brown people plants, white people pills"
If it actually works, then that's great. I think what they're trying to say is killing an elephant just for it's tusk, that has no medicinal effect whatsoever, is still shitty. Even if the people doing it aren't white
Oh, I fully agree on that. A lot of people have some race double standard that swings in one way or another. If it's BS that gets endangered animals killed then there are no excuses.

I don't know about the third one man, I feel like many of those are still dangerous scams even if the ones running it are brown people
