"Differentialist Racism:  It is a racism whose dominant theme is not
biological hereditary but the insurmountability of cultural differences, a
racism which, at first sight, does not postulate the superiority of certain
groups or peoples in relation to others but 'only' the harmfullness of
abolishing frontiers, the incompatibility of life-styles and traditions."
(Étienne Balibar in "Race, Nation, Class -- Ambiguous Identities" )
