What a scary notion.
I'm Egyptian Christian descent (genuinely, my father was from Alexandria).
Do I get a golden ticket? If I want to set fire to the library are we good with this as its "my people"? What about if I asked an external power in to preserve it?
But wait, I'm not Coptic. Are they not my people now? Am I a colonialist for wanting to preserve the library because of the church my old man attended?
What could possibly go wrong with cultural ghettoisation?
