I assume transcendent. I think any actions relating to "groups": nationalities, castes, races, ethnic groups, sectarian religions etc. that doesn't involve breaking down the artificial barriers between them and reinforcing our shared kinship as humans are toxic. Especially as by and large these discrete categories arose in the 19th century or later, we should work to tear them down (the most common reinforcer of this toxic identity politics being borders, immigration bureaucratic and the national elites that are most interested in preserving the nation-state model).

Likewise we should acknowledge that cultures are not the exclusive preserve of races or or groups, and people should be free to adopt the cultures they choose. Furthermore, people should not be forced to change their individual preferences based on the dominant culture of their surroundings (whether it be a government that restricts their individual choices or a kinship group).
