Is it possible to maintain and respect cultural heritage and not be a racist

[Dystopia]

I don't understand what's wrong with liking your cultural heritage, as long as you don't consider yourself and your culture superior and think others are inferior... Then of course, there are cultures that I dislike, but it has nothing to do with race. I don't think race is relevant in culture. As I said before, my girlfriend is gipsy descendant but she doesn't consider herself culturally gipsy. With globalization there is no 100% pure culture and no 100% pure race.

Ah, the illusion of cultural and racial monism. The U.S. has always been culturally and racially pluralistic. Native Americans have been here long before the English, and the Hispanics colonized the southwest.
This country is build on the blood, sweat, and tears of cheap non-white labor.

Indeed, America seems to be even more pluralistic than Europe. It's surprising when I see racist American politicians talking because America has more race diversity.


Honestly, I try to think for myself and accept difference as long as difference isn't barbaric - But if monoculturalism works for other countries I'm not going to stop them. Japan seems to work with Japanese culture and Japanese ethnicity only, so who am I to stop them? Granted that I'm pretty liberal on these things, I do believe some cultural and even ethnic similarities benefit countries because it prevents conflicts that arise between the population.
