If it weren't for the "mixed race' Roman legions and their centuries of occupation of Britain, the waves of Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Norman French, Scandinavians, Polish airmen, peoples from the Indian subcontinent, Jamaicans, and so on, Britain would be a neolithic "pagan" refuge housed in stone huts.
Ingrand has been tramped through by just about everyone. No wonder they need help fighting every war they get themselves into.
Have you read De Tocqueville's Democracy in America? That will give you some insight into white culture in America. It's a culture based on tension between individual liberty and equality. It's a culture of materialism in the context of self-interest. White culture in America is a pan-European fusion of culture shaped by Christianity and the American experience of expansion across a continent. White culture is inherently optimistic because of the potential to reinvent one's self. This flows from a belief in renewal. If you want me to go on pound the ground with your hoof three times.
Expansion, you mean stolen land via genocide in search of riches by demented religious explorers on the order of their imperialist masters.
You don't attribute culture on racial lines? Or is it more country of origin? So it would be African Culture instead of Black Culture?
I would attribute any groups culture to their group. Not to the colour of their skin or the origins of their family. My beliefs and customs are no way the same as someone from Newfoundland.
Someone from South Africa is not going to have the same culture as someone from the Sudan.
culture is not static.
Mr. Clean .lol.
maybe once long ago...but now it's more like the michelin man
Precisely. What the heck is "white culture?" Do a Norwegian fisherman and a Russian plainsman share a culture? How about a Finnish reindeer herder and an Italian olive grower? Or maybe a Jewish Polish doctor and a New Zealand shepherd?
I deal with this all the time when people talk about "Indian culture." Two continents. 200 million people. A thousand languages. Every conceivable religion, monotheist, polytheist, ancestor-worship, Deism, atheism, you name it. City dwellers, plains horsemen, farmers, seal hunters. Governments from god-kings to representative democracy to pure anarchy. What culture did an Inuit seal hunter have in common with an Inka goldsmith?
I think the word 'culture' can be and often is used to mean anything. Certainly I have heard the term 'black culture' and find it to be as meaningless as white culture. But if you accept the former, you should also accept the latter.
I don't accept either. Nor Asian culture, nor even Aborigine culture.
Heck, theres 20 or 30 different cultures in my condo building.
Reality has more than one dimension. It's difficult for you to perceive. The American conquest of the continent is the traditional way one people displaces another people. Canadians displaced the First Peoples of what is now Canada. Otherwise Canada would not exist and serve as your home.
Racism lives in a condominium of diversity.
That assumes we weren't capable of co-existing with the natives. WE were by all accounts though, they were extremely hospitable to the first Europeans who visited the land.
WOW almost sounds like Canadu Good work Spade .
Wow , really context .
How are Canada's Swedes doing now?, how are Canada's Japanese doing now? Your question is probably just as stupid!
My wife is part first Nations, she's doing fine.
