too much obvious connection to the adjective inhumane. you’re already being mean from the get go.
inhumane (adj.)
originally a variant spelling and pronunciation of inhuman “cruel, hard-hearted;” it appears to have died out 17c. but returned c. 1822, probably a reformation as a negative of humane (q.v.), with its accent.
pick another prefix: ab, un, a, dis, … preter…
