Because peoples heritage is part of their culture . The more you understand about it the more you understand the person and the reason they do some of the things they do.. You have a heritage and it is why you were brought up with the beliefs and standards. You want people to respect that , so you should give the same respect. Its also a part of history which has helped us evolve  through out this world.You may not like it or agree with it,but you should at least learn a bit about it before you make a decision and still respect it .

"what goes around, comes around."  & "treat people like you want to be treated."

There is a lot to learn from other cultures and traditions - language, food , religion,  etc. Respecting that enriches your own life. God created us different so we may learn from one another.   This word today brings us closer to different cultures and so pluralism cannot be ignored. It should be embraced.
