That's a good example of how cultures can change. It hasn't been socially acceptable to own a slave in close to two hundred years....but at one time it was.

Just because it was socially acceptable at one time to do an action doesn't mean it will always be that way. If enough people realize the stupidity of their actions, things will change. The "it's my culture" excuse doesn't wash with me.
