How would you respond to, or defend yourself from, this accusation?

In Star Trek 6, during a diplomatic dinner with delegates from the Federation and the Klingon Empire, Pavel Chekov states:
“We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.”,
to which a Klingon delegate responds with:
“Inalien… If only you could hear yourselves? ‘Human rights.’ Why the very name is racist.”

How would you respond to this accusation of racism?
Is the accusation justified?
