But she does make sense in her answer. NO matter what color you are in Gary, IN you are a product of the same culture, simple as that. Not fair that some people who are black from there get more of a break than the white folkd, when they have to deal with the same garbage that the blacks do. Same thing with people in SW DC, no matter what color the crime ishappening in their eyes. Bullets ARE color blind you know.
Culture =/= neighborhoodThat is all.
No, I don't think that I have, but I have been on the Green line and there are whites and blacks, etc alike riding it.

This is a completely different argument for AA. I said nothing about disadvantage. Some schools may want people with different cultures because people of different cultures will contribute different opinions and see things from a different perspective.Culture is not race. I am white. I am from the same culture as many hispanics and Asians are from. There are also a few blacks from this culture.[b] My culture is that of central Garden Grove, CA. [/b] I dod not have different morals, values, and beliefs from people that were of a different color. We pretty much were the same in those categories. Hilarious. No, seriously..haha

No, seriously..hahaPlease explain to me how it is hilarious. I could make it an even narrower definition of what culture I am from if it would please you.
If there are two children growing up next door to each other and always over at each others' house etc how can they NOT be the same culture?Say one is white and the other hispanic, they share in each others' family outings. These are best friends, and I think that they can safely say they share the same culture, that of America.That is what is so great about living here, you wouldn't have to worry about people telling you to stay with your own, you CAN check out other rituals, etc.
