<i>If you usurp the language of conquest, how do you tell if you&#x27;ve also inherited the bigotry and intolerance that so often accompanies it?</i><p>Anyone, regardless of their ethnic background, is capable of holding any view. Race does not determine the content of the mind.<p>I&#x27;m sorry you don&#x27;t like the word, but in the realm of ideas, there is such a thing as good or bad, better or worse, superior or inferior, etc.<p>Now that I think about it, I don&#x27;t think &quot;superior&quot; is a strong enough word. Individualism is not merely superior to racism: the former is is true and good, while the latter is false and evil.
