“Every culture has both positive and negative aspects. When we celebrate our heritage, traditions, or cultural practices, we should choose to embrace and uplift the good, while letting go of harmful practices. Some harmful behaviors, such as racism, violating others’ boundaries, theft, abuse, sexual violence, murder, enslavement, torture, genocide, and dishonesty , should never be celebrated or justified in the name of culture. These are actions that must be condemned, addressed, and eliminated. True cultural pride comes from promoting values that uplift humanity and foster respect, dignity, and justice for all.”
