Why do people differentiate natural selection and artificial

Why do people differentiate natural selection and artificial selection? Under my understanding artificial selection aught to just be a sub category of natural selection. The "fittest" animals breed more often and their fitness is determined by their environment. The specifics of why their traits are more fit for their environment doesn't usually matter when attributing the "natural selection" label, so why do people make a special case when traits are beneficial because their environment containing humans that regulate breeding.

It is.

>so why do people make a special case when traits are beneficial because their environment containing humans that regulate breeding.
Because those traits tend to behave quite differently and have very different properties from most nonhuman environmental aspects.

Nature produces us - and suddenly our decisions are unnatural?
We're literally the rational voice of impersonal nature - we can do w/e the fuck we want, there are no rules other than the laws of the universe.

deluded humans tend to think that some of their actions are not natural

Nature doesn't look at particular traits, either a full combination works or it doesn't. Humans often select for something in particular, at the expense of other traits (like resistance to diseases).

in order to survive in nature, natural niggers are normally selected for nostril width, hair frizzyness, lip protrusion, and penchant for fucking children to cure aids

but instead superior whites start allowing only niggers whose penis size is less than verified global average of 5.5" to reproduce in order to feel better about their babby dicks

this would be artificial selection

Because the traits in question being pushed are influenced by abstract ideals (i.e. economics) that are exclusively derived from human methodology that exclusively benefits human society and in fact severely harms the animal in question.

And the only reason why they're not extinct in nature is because we still need them and therefore reside over their welfare.

That is artificial selection, when the driving force for a trait's existence exist only to serve humans to the point where biologically the animal can't cope and has no way to resolve with it's own innate traits.
