I'm sorry, I could be more clear. My main point is that you don't necessarily have to denigrate your own race, whatever it is, in order to show your respect to other races. And if someone feels the opposite, it is a problem in itself (see e.g. [0] for more discussion) and is causing other problems. By the way, we are already smart to know that the discussion at that level has been influenced by Russian efforts to conquer by division[1] - and they know where the vulnerabilities are.

As for the contradiction, the USA has a history that is very much unique and not shared with other countries, and the painful consequences are still very much alive. You would need to see the reactions of people in, say, Asia, when you tell them they have to replace master/slave and blacklist with other terms. They basically do it out of politeness but they do not see the need for that.
