What's wrong with being Eurocentric? 

As the widely beloved Slavoj Zizek once pointed out (in response to a
questioner who accused him of being Eurocentric), during the struggle
against apartheid, the ANC resolutely stuck to universalist
Englightenment values - the kind that are often denounced as
Eurocentric - while it was Buthelezi, in the pay of the CIA, who
liked to talk about the superiority of "African" values.
