I am not a moral relativist.  I can understand why a culture believes
as they do without agreeing with them.  I believe that not being
prejudiced is a higher moral value and should be pursued and protected
when possible by law.  This does not mean that in every conversation
my goal is to do more than understand the context of the person's
beliefs.  I think that some areas of cultures and societies have
acquired "better" values than others.
