готентотский

[blue-segment.livejournal.com]

Hello,
I hope someone here can shed some light on what "готентотский" means in this sentence:

к сожалению, этот готентотский (sic) взгляд на пролетарское искусство существует и доныне

I assume it literally means "Hottentot" but what it's doing in this sentence is a mystery to me.

Thank you.

UPD Thanks everyone.

I pass. But googling for "Hottentot" and "готентотский" yields about same results, so maybe it is not Russian language-related.
