blk_reign,
I am aware that AA is discussed in other threads but not this one. No one was arguing about AA on this thread at all. It is really not relevant to the discussion, as far as I can tell. Critic, I also agree AA is a good thing. A lot of people were screwed over by bad policies and it has had a multi-generational effect and a just society must work to balance the playing field. Further if a white person can point to disadvantage in their background and demonstrate how it hurt them in UG/etc... in their PS then it will be taken into account just like URM status and the racist policies of north american governments, companies and universities have disadvantaged non-whites. The people who cry about AA are often those that slacked through UG and have no disadvantage to blame it on (notice I didn't say everyone so if you don't fit this category save the flaming for another time) and thus have to attack others to make them feel good about their own failures. Anyway.
Also back to blk_reign (i got sidetracked there) what is white culture? To begin, as you must know, it is very difficult to say what is "white" or "black" culture for that matter. Culture is not based on genetics. A black male that is a 3rd generation new yorker is going to have a lot different culture than someone from Ghana. I had 2 black roommates last year with one from Ghana and one from Antigua. They were both in only their second year away from their home countries and they had radically different cultures. They didn't share a common culture so how could you say they come from a "black culture"? Now that I have laid that out, back to your original question: what is white culture? It really depends on where you are from. The white people in Scotland have a very distinct culture. We don't call what Scottish people do "white culture" yet they are for the most part white. Same goes for places like France, Britain, Germany, etc... We call it German culture, not white culture yet all these countries are fairly white. Lets look to the United States and see the dress of whites in the USA is for the most part similar, as is the shared language. In certain areas musical taste is common (ie country music or "southern" rock) and it seems to be shared largely by the white folks in the area. In my own hometown the food we ate was fairly similar (if you remove crap like McDonalds and stuff like that and did a study on what people cook at home I bet you'd see some definate cultural/religious patterns in diet form). There is no one monolithic white culture, the same as there is no monolithic black culture.
