"Les stéréotypes d'antan, pudiquement appelés "nos repères", nous enfermaient mais nous rassuraient. Aujourd'hui, leur éclatement en trouble plus d'un.

Nombre d'entre elles sont tentées de répliquer par l'instauration d'un nouvel ordre moral qui suppose le rétablissement des frontières. C'est le piège où ne pas tomber sous peine d'y perdre notre liberté, de freiner la marche vers l'égalité et de renouer avec le séparatisme."
