Matari and non-Matari can have a different sense of honor and responsibility.
Some non-Matari (especially Gallente individualists) want to be considered as individuals first, and members of their reference groups (clans, corporations, social circles) second - if at all.
They do not generally consider it fair or just to be judged for the misdeeds of their relatives or friends, and do not want to feel responsible for consequences of actions that are not their own.
From the perspective of communal responsibility such views are odd. Who we are associated with defines a large part of who we are. Inaction counts as action.
"It was not me, he did it." Yet, he was your kin, should you not have prevented him?
"I did not know what he was doing." Yet, if he was indeed your close friend, should you not have known?
Perhaps, if he indeed was your kin or friend, he should have thought of you before doing what he did.
