Yet isn't it racism to regard as "our" values such things as respect for
the individual, due process, freedom of speech and conscience? In what
sense, after all, are they ours? If they are ours because we have adopted
them, and if we have adopted them because they help us to live better lives
as individuals and communities, might they not for the very same reason
become "their" values too? -- Lee Harris, "Civilization and its
Enemies"
