"As we don’t accept the idea of cultural hierarchy, we cannot admit that a "pure" culture can be superior to "crossed" cultures. This is also why a "movement of purification" imposed within a cultural area cannot be legitimate. Eventually, the recognition of multi-identity is a new dimension of Human rights: having the right to choose one’s culture, and to respect the cultural choice of each individual."
