Abhijit Naskar
“Ethnicity is liquor of the apes (Naskaristana 2522)

Every nonwhite person speaks two or more languages,
every nonwhite person juggles two or more cultures,
every nonwhite person comes from a soil
seeped in philosophy and poetry -

now tell me, how exactly are the whites superior!

Here I'm not establishing the nonwhites
as superior, all I'm pointing out is this -

in sciences white people are not the pioneers,
in philosophy white people are not the pioneers,
in art and astrophysics whiteys are not the pioneers,
in medicine and mathematics whiteys are not the pioneers,

then how on earth did you come by this
insane inkling that white people are the super race,
how many bottles did you have, or did you
bang your head against the rocks while making fire!

Fact of the matter is, dumbness doesn't have ethnicity,
but fanaticism of ethnicity only establishes
that ethnicity as the dumbest bunch of apes on earth,
whether it's neonazis, zionists, islamists or sanatanuts.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

Will Kymlicka
“The state does not oppose the freedom of people to express their particular cultural attachments, but nor does it nurture such expression—rather [...] it responds with 'benign neglect' [....] The members of ethnic and national groups are protected against discrimination and prejudice, and they are free to maintain whatever part of their ethnic heritage or identity they wish, consistent with the rights of others. But their efforts are purely private, and it is not the place of public agencies to attach legal identities or disabilities to cultural membership or ethnic identity. This separation of state and ethnicity precludes any legal or governmental recognition of ethnic groups, or any use of ethnic criteria in the distribution of rights, resources, and duties.”
― Will Kymlicka, Multicultural Citizenship: A Liberal Theory of Minority Rights
