There is not a group on this planet worthy of your respect.  Only individuals.  Respect or disrespect them case-by-case, based on what they do, not what categories they belong to.

It's possible that your greatest ally could be a DEA or BATF agent becoming disillusioned with the agency's practices.  It's possible your worst enemy could be a friend about to rat on you to save his or her own butt.  It's possible that the smartest person you'll ever meet will be a member of a racial group you always believed was stupid.  It's possible that the most venal person you'll ever meet belongs to a group otherwise known for its honor.
