Ethoselective
The practice of choosing friends, partners, associates, and influences based primarily on their character, ethics, and values rather than their race, religion, nationality, gender, wealth, status, appearance, or social identity.
An ethoselective person is not concerned with what group you belong to—they are concerned with how you treat others, whether your actions match your words, and what principles guide your life.
While others sort people by labels, an ethoselective person sorts people by character.
Ethoselective: Choosing people by character, not categories.
Origin:From ethos (Greek: character, moral nature, guiding beliefs) and selective (choosing according to a standard).

"I'm ethoselective. I don't care where you're from, I care whether you're honest, accountable, and trustworthy."
