The same can be said for the Han Chinese, of course, and maybe even more so. One can choose one's culture. However, once cannot choose to not be human. Some cultures are better than others, or can be shown to be more resilient than others, as you have correctly stated. I reserve the right to choose the cultures that I prefer. Just as an example, I would say that I am not totally enamored with PNG culture, because, otherwise, I would move to Papua New Guinea. You, Hummin, are most welcome to move to PNG, and enjoy the culture there, any time you wish. As you say, Hummin, Culture is CRUCIAL...... I found this blog from the 1970s rather interesting.... https://www.skjtravel.net/index.php/15-features/481-explorer-of-the-wilds-of-papua-new-guinea-1970s You are correct, HUMMIN, that it is culture which counts most.... Because, otherwise, we are all equal, and equally primitive. What do you think? Do you think that the people from PNG have any claim to the land of Israel, just in case they might be able to prove some LONG-LOST tribal affiliation?
