If I may put in my two cents, I look at it from the perspective of two cultures. We aren't a country and don't have our own language, so it's a bit of a strange analogy to take literally but I mean it literally.
I see this as the same with being Vegan, different culture, different ethics. The most unethical thing is to try and destroy a culture first and foremost. By being isolationist and not cooperating with people and organizations that are part of a different culture and getting to a point where we can not-only respect our differences but appreciate them as well, one is ultimately setting out to BURDEN all life with their ethics. Filibustering the room; stopping all progress for the sake of one ideal. I think thats part of what Luke means when saying: it's unethical.
