That may be the official stance but I don't think the people in charge think of that way. In the main storyline for ARR they capture all of the scions (except us mostly) and executed those without the echo. They wanted to harness the power of the echo it according to Livia when she was interrogating Minfillia. If people with the echo were considered simple beastmen to be exterminated thats what would have happened they wouldn't have taken the scions prisoner.
