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

[Dystopia]

Not sure what's the problem with culture and tradition, it's something that serves as a uniting factor for people - Race is different because no one chooses race. I despise culture and tradition if it's harmful, but if it's benignant I don't see the problem.

Our species is tribal, we don't just base that on religion, we base that also on politics and business. When I say the past is not as important, I mean that. We have never been a separate species. Our future is more important than the past. The past is important to remember, but nothing to cling to outside a history lesson.

Yes our species values tribalism to some degree... So? The past is a good lesson for what you should do and what you shouldn't. Culture is a very ambiguous concept to discuss, culture can be almost anything, and despite the talk about cultural diversity I believe we are becoming more homogeneous with globalization, so only minimal cultural differences will persist
