Race Vs. Place: Is There Such a Thing as ‘White Culture’?

Is culture till now based forward race, or has the nature intermingled to the point that tillage is based more on place? Race Vs. Place: Is There Such a Thing as ‘White Culture’?

We previously talked at BNT nearly what it might mean when white people take on heritages other than their avow.

But I found dialogue on Reddit that delves into an area where we honest scratched the surface. Someone posed the question, “What is white culture?”

The purpose and responses of that post happens to be not far from Glenn Beck’s comment that Obama has “hatred for white people or the snowy culture.”

Some of the readers believe Beck’s statement essentially implies that fortunate culture is American, Christian and conservative. Other rabble say that there is none such thing as white culture, that refinement in fact comes from:

Where you live, how you were raised, and the collective traditions, beliefs, and prejudices of the the million around you.

What is Culture?

While making frolic of white race can be abundantly, funny, it got me thinking, is the term “white culture” on a level valid in the world? I’fray taking this query beyond the borders of the US and even other white-majority countries.

Does being born white in Africa mean that a person is culturally linked to someone in Canada? Probably not, except their family came from there.

But what if you paired the UK and the US, who share a language (minus accents), cultural heritage, and at least on a world stage, have remained political allies? Does the rest of the world think there exists, to some extent, a culture of shared whiteness between the two?

I can think of a lot of people from both the UK and the US who would not concur, though I can see how people in other powers of the world to a high degree much connect the two.

Place is also key – where you settle often ends up being the “culture” you take on.

But I’m not sure if at this point in history, we can say that culture is at all based on race. While for some cultures, such while the Aboriginal nation and South Asians, a large percentage of the folks are still not of joined races, on the whole, our world has intermeshed in a big way.

And place is also key – where you settle often ends up being the “culture” you take on.

This is not to say that culturally-based racism isn’t alive and thriving, or that keeping cultural history operative is not important; far from it. It is only to say that I’household not fully convinced definitive lines can be placed according to breed any longer.

And I’m not indisputable that we should ever listen to anything Glenn Beck has to say. But really, that’s another point entirely.

Do you think there is such a lump of matter as “white” culture? Share your thoughts below.
